Episode... Begin!
It was mysterious. It was cold. The canyon felt dark and yet warm. It was if light and darkness were clashing in this quarry. Where this place is usually no one would know. Today is the final battle. This where everything was leading up to. This was the day. The strange thing was... this was all dream yet it was taking place in the future in a world where no one knew existed... sort of. Whoever was dreaming this knew this dream was real yet it felt like a memory he had to experience. The dreamer even knew that the people of Earth in this future were watching this final battle, just how he didn't know.
This canyon was real; yet made of digital data; this canyon was in a place known as the Digital World. The two armies fighting here were creatures only children and adults who had known about them for years. They were creatures who could transform into dinosaurs, angels, knights, vampires, and other sorts of animals and beings. Odd thing was... This wasn't your usual good good versus evil battle, no Vaccine and Holy types vs. Darkness types this time.
BOOM! An explosion kicked off the battle. Rather, it was the ending of a epic battle that was underway. More explosions went around as Digimon fought each other. Machine Digimon battled X-Antibody Digimon, Holy types battled Virus Types like usual, but some of the Holy types acted violently at the X-Antibody Digimon. Dinosaur types fended off the evil Holy Digimon so the young Digimon could escape the fires of war.
Knight-like Digimon fought off Viruses, and Machines. Feelings of malevolence, anger, hatred, justice filled the air as lasers fired out at the two armies as they ran. The Dreamer was in horror of the carnage that happened in this. What should have been a heroic finish was a bitter, sour defeat that was at that minimal price of sacrifing the evil army. Soldiers were flying around in the air after they had gotten hit by the lasers. A giant Machine-Type Digimon fired lasers at some incoming fire.
A sword-wielding Dragon Man Digimon covered in gold Chrome Digizoid armor followed by a black colored Dragon Man Digimon and a claw bearing gold armored Dragon Man flew out of the explosions. The two dragons warriors behind thier brother fired small suns at the incoming target but they fell to its fire. Several scarfed warriors on bikes raced to the target, swarms of flying Digimon flew overhead. Some fell to the laserfire.
A Beetle-themed Digimon and a flower fairy-themed Digimon jumped of a huge serpent-like Dragon Digimon and ran as the battle turned south. The Dragon Digimon crashed into a mountain as the Beetle Digimon and the Fairy Digimon ran off.
The swordwielder from before motioned to the others to keep pressing on. One Virus Type Demon Lord on his Behemoth Bike fired back at the lasers, trying to buy time for his allies. One Mega-Level Angel Digimon carried X-AntiBody Digimon who had been wounded in the fighting. A Phoenix Digimon fired shields of fire to provide cover.
The heroes were running towards the incoming target, while the evil ones were trying to stop them. The ones on the ground fighting each otherr didn't see the lasers coming and were taken out. The sword-wielding Dragon Man flew past the others, gaining speed. A blue anthromorphic wolf covered in guns and armor fired missiles at the incoming lasers as he stood on top of a train. The lasers took them out and blasted the train and the warrior down. Another train Digimon fired as well, only to be destroyed.
The destruction continued to the dreamer's horror. Screams of pain, and death raged all around the canyon. It didn't matter who was good and who was evil... death only mattered. The Dragon Man sword wielder tried to hold on as he fought the pain his wounds gave him; but someone was on his back. The battle ended with an explosion! BOOM!
The giant gas fireball faded, the dreamer could see a light. One of Chrome Digizoid warriors laid its weary head as the light showed itself. Light faded, only to see th attacker was silhouetted by shadows. The only thing visible was the T-shaped red visor and the three dots on its forehead.
The villain landed, as the sword wielder dedigivolved, as he did so, his parter fell off his back. The monster only took two steps when he heard, "Wait."
The villain turned. The dreamer could only see who the human parter was from the back. He had spiky, brown hair, and had a blue headband in his hair. He could see the black strap of the human's goggles on the headband. The dreamer saw the guy's jacket and sneakers.
The human's left hand went for the red and white device clipped on one of the left belt loops on his pants. The small "T" shaped device was a D-Ark; a Digivice from the Digimon Tamers show! The Dreamer saw the human's chest; he had a gold tag that had a small orange tablet in it around his neck.
The male human unclipped the device and raised it in the air, the orange tablet's sun mark glowed brightly. On the black screen, green words appeared. A female voice declared, "BIOMERGE DIGIVOLUTION" as the said words appeared on the screen.
The male human cried out in the dreamer's voice, "Biomerge Activate!" The male held the device close to his heart as it glowed a gold color. The male then spread his arms wide.
The light expanded around him and the yellow dinosaur with him. The villain looked on the transformation with an impasse expression. The Dreamer could only see the being that emerged from the light from the back. He could see the tall thing had a white cape, his left arm was chrome Digizoid gold, and the other, Chrome Digizoid Blue. The thing had its arms crossed in front of its face in "X".
The knight Digimon spread its arms wide. The Dreamer could see one "hand" was a dragon head shape, and the right hand was a wolf shape. It couldn't be! The silhouetted fighters of good and evil eyed each other. The evil monster made the first move. The two warriors were fist fighting, trading punches and kicks. The knight's wolf hand's jaw unhinged and a cannon barrel emerged from it.
It fired a blue laser blast at the creature. The villain countered with a beam from its hands. The beams of blue and red clashed. The gray machine Mega lashed out with a kick, which forced the Knight to drop back. He held his left arm up to his right, then spread his left arm wide. A double edged, pointed sword emerged from the dragon head's mouth.
The sword glowed with flame-like power. The madmonster's left fist glowed as well, but with purple, shadowy power. The two warring monsters drew their hands back then shot them foward. Sword and fist clashed in a powerful explosion, the force of the fireball forced the dreamer to awaken.
"AAAAAH!" The dreamer woke up, and shot up. What a dream. "What just happened?"
The brown haired boy moved the blankets off of him as he sat on his bed. He eyed the goggles that were lying on his desk. "That dream again." He mused, 'It's like that dream Mikey-I mean, Taiki Kudou had in Digimon Xros Wars. I wonder...'
He dismissed it. "Naaah! I probably was just up late doing some work on DeviantArt, last night!" He reached for his goggles and a card reader that was next to his laptop. "Time to get the day started!"
-Cue the opening-
A guitar riff stars the song as it shows Kai is seen rising up over the city of Tokyo only to be sent spinning into darkness surrounded by letters, Then Caden is seen spinning into a blue upside "M" letter, Samuel is seen spinning into the darkness followed by Lunest, Jack is also spinning into the letters, two characters that are silhouetted are the last ones spinning into the darkness! Over a warm, blue ocean the words "DIGIMON: The Hard Drive Chronicles" appear in yellow.
It shows all five of the kids falling towards the Hard Drive continent. It zooms out into space to see a silhouetted evil Digimon! A short guitar riff starts then the lyrics start up again as Koromon digivolves to Agumon, Yokomon Digivolves to Biyomon, Samuel Spirit Evolves into Strabimon, Tokomon digivolves to Patamon, and DemiMeramon digivolves to Candlemon , One digimon Digivolves to Rookie but we can only see his silhouette. We zoom out to see all of them surrounded by evil Digimon.
Gokigen na chou ni natte kirameku kaze ni notte! Ima sugu kimi ni ai ni yukou Yokei na koto nante wasureta hou ga mashi saKore ijou shareteru jikan wa nai!
Five Digivices fire white energy into the darkened skies, a blue light shimmers and sends white orbs of power down. Agumon and the others fly around a ray of light, their powered up forms appear one by one, Greymon, Birdramon, Lobomon, Wizardmon, and a silhouetted Digimon. The last digimon swipes his claws twice.
Nani ga wow wow wow wow wow kono sora ni todoku no darou Dakedo wow wow wow wow wow ashita no yotei mo wakaranai!
A guitar riff kicks up the song as Kai sees an emerging Greymon destroy a mountain, and runs off to follow Greymon. Birdramon is seen flying towards the viewers with Caden holding onto her partner's leg, Pegasusmon is seen flying over a forest while KendoGarurumon is seen running and jumping off a cliff, behind him is the moon! GreymonX is seen fighting Kuwagamon, Kazemon is seen battling LadyDevimon. Pegagusmon fires his stars at a machine Digimon. A guitar riff resounds again as Greymon fires his Nova Blast. Birdramon fires her Meteor Wing Attack at the enemy. Lobomon slashes his swords in the air, switches to KendoGarurumon to fire a blast of light! Angemon fires his hand of Fate against black fire! Wizardmon spins, his staff fires fireballs at 100mph!
The song ends with 6 Digimon in their In-Training Forms; but one is silhouetted, then in their Rookie states. It shows Kai in the center of a group it zooms out to show Kai, Caden, Sam, Lunest, Jack and two others that are silhouetted, a silhouetted girl, Jack and Caden are to his right, and a silhouetted boy, Samuel and Lunest are to his left. They all stand in their poses with their Digimon Partner's Champion Forms behind them.
Mugendai na yume no ato no nanimo nai yo no naka ja! Sou sa itoshii omoi mo makesou ni naru kedo! Stay shigachi na imeeji darake no tayorinai tsubasa demo Kitto toberu sa on my love!
Pulse 1: Arrival
Around the same time the boy had his vision, a god known as Yggdrasil was with two Digimon who were watching some footage of one of the recent attacks. The tree had pursed its roots like how a person would purse its lips at the footage. A Dragon Man themed kingdom had been destroyed for the "crime" of hosting X-Antibody Digimon refugees in their own country.
On the camera, A female armored Angel Mega Level laid dead on the floor, her data was seeping out. Her crimson Dragon Man warrior lover known as KaiserGreymon was fighting something that couldn't be seen on-screen.
KaiserGreymon's sword transformed into its crossbow state. "DRAGONFIRE CROSSBOW!" The Ruler had mustered its attack in one final blast. "Run! Go!"
A few young X-Antibody Digimon were protected by Knightmon, the group ran to a portal and vanished. The voice from the attacker growled. "Fool. You're delaying their inevitable deletion."
KaiserGreymon growled, "You won't lay a hand on any of my subjects for as long as I stand!" The voice said one thing. "Ulforce Flare."
The unseen attacker compressed the power of the Ulforce into its hands and fired a powerful beam, The red "T" shaped beam hit KaiserGreymon directly in the chest.
The ruler roared in pain, his data leaked out of him rapidly like water. The pain increased as he fell to his knees. He tried to block it with his sword. The blade crackled. The cracking go louder as KasiGreymon's body vanished bit by bit.
His roar echoed as his wife's data vanished,. Two glowing eggs laid at the assailant's feet. One foot crushed them like they were nothing. The footage fizzled out.
The blue and yellow Beetle-themed humanoid Digimon looked to the Server Tree. "That happened moments before my Rangers were wiped out." He looked to the flower-wearing woman Digimon with him. "Lillymon and I are the only survivors of the team, milord."
The Server Tree gave a worried sigh. "That, and Omnimon was killed in battle as of last week. Imperialdramon Paladin Mode is certainly angry. The Royal Knights are stretched thin fighting these... "Purifiers." We need help, Captain Beetlemon."
Beetlemon sighed, "Don't tell me... we need a "group of teenagers with attitude"?" Lillymom and Yggdrasil sweatdropped.
The captain said, "What? It's a joke . lighten up, guys." Lillymon asked, "But sir, we need humans to help us? But you can take them all on yourself, can' t you?"
Yggdrasil heard his subject's voice and said, "I am not at full strength since I came back online. Until I am back at full power, we're defenseless... we must call on a new set of Digidestined." The fairy Digimon argued. "But there hasn't been something that will be the catalyst to the humans becoming Digidestined."
Yggdrasil's tree form glowed. "Just leave that to me." What was He planning this time?
Back in the human world...
The Filipino boy known as Kai Taddeo had lighty tanned skin, tousled, spiky chocolate brown hair and matching brown eyes. He wore an open red black hooded jacket over a orange shirt and blue jeans. He had red and grey sneakers on as he exited his first floor condo. He grabbed the black goggles off the wall's hat rack near the door.
As soon as Kai locked the house up checked his pants pockets, He had his headphones in his right backpocket, he had his card reader in his right front pocket and had his deck of cards in his deck box on the back of his belt. He checked for the lanyard under his shirt that was around his neck; it had his house keys. Yup, his phone was in its holster on the right side of his belt.
He called to his mother in his house, "I'll be home after the game, Mom!" His mother called back, "Good luck, honey!"
Kai eyed the goggles after he locked the house. "Well, Dad, Today's the day a new adventure begins! Today, I seize it!" He grabbed the blue headband in his right pocket and put it on his forehead, put on the goggles on the headband. "Here I go!"
The ten year-old boy ran to the condo next door and knocked eagerly. Who opened the door was someone he had known in forever! The nine year-old girl was caucasian, and wore rectangle glasses. She had wavy neck-length brown hair and had hazel-blue eyes. The tomboy wore a black long-sleeved hoodie over a black and white vertical striped T-shirt and she wore her dark blue jeans with the ends rolled up. Her sneakers were gray and white with red ovals on the tongues.
The girl smiled, "Someone's fired up about the game today." Kai nodded, "You bet, Caden." He shouted to the woman inside, "I'll bring her home safe, Mrs. Walstein!"
"Gimme it!" "No, it's mine!" "Mine!" "No, it's mine!" Oh no. This again. Caden sighed; just how many times had they argued over that toy again?
Caden turned to see her siblings bickering over a toy again. "Jaina, Kory! Stop! Hey, don't make me get in between you two again!" The two stopped. "That's better."
The brunette turned to Kai. "So, shall we?" Kai bowed, "So we shall, milday." The girl chuckled at her buddy's chivalrous nature; he could be such a dork sometimes.
The two began walking into the small town of Mira Mesa, soon they were at the Mira Mesa Community Park where a special, once-in-a-lifetime Digimon-themed soccer game match was being held. The winning team not got Digimon prizes, but they got $5,000 dollars in prize money to a charity of their choice. A match the Mira Mesa Jets were supposed to play today was rescheduled to make room for this special match.
Kai spied three others that hd been waiting for them. "Ah there they are!" The two ran up to their friends. Two of them were boys, and one was a girl.
The first ten year old boy was Italian American, and had his hair cut short. His eyes were hazel-green. He wore a blue shirt over black shorts. He had black and grey sneakers on. He looked to be very cold and aloof.
He gave a small smirk. "You took your time." Kai smiled, "Well excuuuse us for taking a stroll around town, Sam."
The blonde eleven year-old agreed. "It is a lovely day outside, why not take a stroll around town while it's nice out? I certainly would." She was shaking her head at her friend's terse attitude. "Lighten up, Sam."
The causcasian girl was eleven years old. The girl had shoulder length blond hair, the ends of her hair were spiky. Her eyes were brown. She wore a turquoise-turtleneck T-shirt witha heart on the front. She wore light blue capri skirt. A brown belt with a square yellow belt buckle encircled her slender waist. The blonde had matching blue wristbands on her wrists and her sneakers were white with fabulous rainbow-colored heels. Meet Lunest Rosewind; the heart and soul of this little circle of friends.
The nine year-old redheaded boy adjusted his lucky orange scarf. "And here we go again with you all arguing."
The boy had short dark red hair and he wore an open brown jacket over a green shirt and khaki pants. The guy wore a orange scarf around his neck. The boy had green wrist-length fingerless gloves on. He wore green slip-on shoes. From the way this kid was dressed, he was all work and no play yet there was a hopeful demeanor to his smile.
Samuel Giou snapped, "Oh bite me, Morrison." Jack Morrison cocked a brow, "I can't believe you all dragged me out here when I was studying.; I am gonna become a California Forest Ranger after all."
Lunest giggled, "At least you're here on time, Mr. By-the-book." The redhead eyed her. "True enough. Well, go Mira Mesa Jets and all that jazz..." he grumbled about something having to do with a test he passed.
The boy with goggles looked around , "Michael and Erika couldn't make it, huh?" Lunest said, "Michael's busy helping his family move and our nutty cosplayer's taking her medical test today."
Kai looked down. "Ah, well. At least you guys made it today." Caden eyed her best friend's stuff. "Why'd you bring your cards?"
The boy responded, "They have a rare Omnimon card I've been aching to get my hands on for months. This is my chance to get it!"
Kai headed towards his teammates as others sat in the stands with the other families and friends. All of these locals assembled here to day to see the Mira Mesa Jets go up against the PB Seagulls in a match worth waiting to see! Kai and Caden emerged from the bathroom wearing blue and yellow soccer uniforms. Within hours of the afternoon, The ball kept changing frequently during each little square-off. Kai; captain of the Mira Mesa Jets went where no one of the other team expected him to be. That was his style after all; unpredicatability. He always went none of the enemy would see him coming. Minutes were winding down. It was getting down to the wire
Kai thought as he dribbled the ball, keeping the other players from getting to it, 'Dad, This one's for you!' He faked out one player and headed straight for the goal.
The announcer cried, "Here he comes, Number 7 himself! Mira Mesa's own Kai Taddeo; a budding soccer star brimming with potential. This kid's had several big wins since he began in the children's division! Show 'em what Mira Mesa's all about, kid!"
Jack checked his stopwatch. "One minute to go." Samuel grunted. "Don't qoute the Movie, please."
Lunest cheered, "GO GET 'EM, KAI!" The townspeople agreed, "FLY HIGH, JETS!"
None of the other players wanted the prizes more than Kai. The Forward was met with his partner. Caden blocked every other player. One managed to slip past her. Too late, Kai was streaking ot the goalie. The goalie and Kai locked eyes. The Jets vs. The Gulls. The match up of a lifetime; Too bad this wasn't the finals or this'd be a real climatic showdown.
Kai eyed the counter, "Ten seconds left..." The crowd counted down, "Nine... eight... seven.. six..."
Upon reaching the number six, Lunest noticed the white clouds gave a rainbow-like shimmer. What was that? Jack noticed as well, and cocked his brow. 'That's unusual. Do clouds shimmer?'
"Three... Two... ONE!" Kai jumped the ball into the air and passed to Caden. "Gotcha!" Caden dribbled it like a pro, using her martial arts kicks to pass it back to Kai. WHUMPF! The net caught the black and white ball just as Kai bicycled kicked it into the goal.
The announcer cried, "And it's 20-13! The Mira Mesa Jets children's division wins it! Never have I seen such a display of tatics and cunning from Mira Mesa's own future pro in soccer!" Kai headed up to the stage to pick his prize. "The boy just donated the prize money to the Austim Awareness website and is now heading up to the stage to get his prizes.
Kai took the Biyomon plushie and handed it to Caden, "For you." He took the Omnimon card. "This one's mine." He tucked it into his Knight themed deck case with the rest of his Digimon cards.
Caden kissed her friend's cheek. "Thanks, Kai. By the way, why'd you pass it to me when you clearly had the shot to glory for yourself?" Kai laughed, "I wanted to share my victory with everyone, not hog it all like most people would."
He blushed after getting smooched on the cheek. Kai and Caden changed back into their normal clothes, only to be glomped by Lunest. "You did it! You did it!" Kai choked, "Yeah, we won... Now let... us.. breathe!"
A sheepish Lunest dropped the two. "Whoopsie." Samuel and Kai held up their right wrists and tapped them together in a "X" formation. "Let's see this card, winner."
Kai brought out the card, but then the shimmering happened again; this time it was from his card reader pocket. Kai frowned about brought it out. The card slot was shining. He then looked at his Omnimon card. What the? There was another card underneath it.
Kai's eyes widened. "The Blue Card from Digimon Tamers? What is this doing here?" Jack eyed the card suspiciously. "Is it a fake or a real one?"
The boy tapped the Blue Card and held it in the light, "Yeah, the card's real." The blonde girl said, "The card slot's shining like the clouds are today. What is going on?"
Samuel said, "You got greedy, didn't you?" Kai shot back, "I didn't even know this card was with it." He eyed the card reader as Samuel warned, "Don't you dare."
Kai laughed, "Oh come on. It's not like we're gonna be sucked into the TV show or anything." The Marine brat tched. "Famous last words."
Stange beeping went off on everyone's phones. That was the second thing that made the day completely strange.
Jack checked his phone as were many of the civilians in the area. "What in the world? My phone's showing a bunch of green 1's and 0's." Lunest held hers up, "Mine too. Looks like everyone's phones are on the fritz-." FSHWEEN!
Caden saw the Omnimon card glowing, and all at once, the five of them were glowing five different colors. Kai was orange, Caden was pink, Samuel was blue, Jack was yellow and Lunest was green. They were transfixed by the card. Kai felt strangely motivated to slot the card in. Like someone was calling for help. The others could faintly feel this call for help. Why was it calling for them and who was it?
At the same time...
We don't see the African American boy's face as he moves several boxes into the house. He looked up to see the sky shimmer. "What is all that about?" He dusted his yellow gloved hands off.
The boy saw a light appear before him, he touched to grab it...
Around that same time At a school, a blue-haired girl kept her face obscured as the test went on on her computer. The lights shimmering caught her eye.
She turned to face the window, her back to the others in the lab. "What in the world?" A white glow appeared behind her and she turned. "What the—who are you?"
Back at the field...
Samuel looked around, "And none of the others sees us glowing, why?" The others in the are seem transfixed by something in the air. Just what was going on right now?
Jack pointed to the skies, "Maybe because they're watching the skies shimmer like rainbows rather than looking at us?" Jack was right; the sky was shining like rainbows.
Samuel looked up. "Way to state the obvious, Jack." Caden said, "Okay, this just got weird. What else could make this day weirder?"
Kai bit his lip and decided to slot it in. SWIPE! The card reader began to show the same 1's and 0's as Jack's phone was displaying. The numbers on the reader and the numbers in the sky rambled for awhile until they stopped on a number. A number only those five would know and recgnize. 3799.
Samuel furrowed his brow. "What's that number mean?" Kai answered as he eyed the date. "3/7/99 is the date Bandai and Toei released Digimon Adventure 01 in Japan; any Digifan would know that." WHOOSH! FHHSNNM!
The Card Reader changed upon Kai speaking the date. The device had become a small "T" shaped device. The screen had a red ring around it. Below the screen were two buttons. The thing had a card reader slot on the right side. The device had a red-orange thread that hd a black clip on it. This thing was a...
Lunest and Jack cried, "A D-Ark?!" Before even Kai could ask why his card reader changed. All five of them had visions. All of them had images going by in their eyes really fast as if someone was playing it l in their heads really fast. All of the visions were terrifying and dark.
The visions ended within seconds and everyone shook their heads. The confused kids spoke all at the same time.
"Wait... what the-?" "Did you see what I saw?" "Sort of, what was that?" "I don't know." "That was freaky!"
Kai looked up. "Uh guys?" The clouds shimmered that rainbow color even more. "What in the world?"
Kai then saw the clouds part and faintly saw a portal open up. WHOOOSH! Two seconds later , the kids were flying through the rainbow colored portal. "WHOOOOOAAAAOOOOHHHH!"
"Kai. Hello! Kai." Kai blinked as he woke up on his back. "I'm up. I'm up." He blinked once, then twice.
A pink ball with long ears, red eyes and sharp teeth was sitting on his chest. 3... 2... 1... Kai screamed. He jumped up, getting the thing off of him. It bounced around him happily. "Yay! You're awake! You're awake!"
Kai blinked owlishly, "K-koromon?" He thought, 'What in the world just happened? One minute I'm at the park and the next, I'm in a huge forest with none other than Koromon!'
Koromon bounced up and down. "Yes, that's me! That's meee!" He stopped bouncing. "Wait, how'd you know my name?" Kai answered as he checked himself for his things, "Long story, buddy."
Everything was gone; well aside from his cards, his lanyard, and his Digivice. He tapped his forehead; whew! The goggles and headband were still in his hair. He muttered, "Oh man, Dad woulda freaked if I had lost these."
A redheaded male came by, "Kai?" Kai turned to see Jack who had a small bunny-like creature with him. Jack asked, "Did you happen to get a little buddy too?"
Kai nodded, "I got Koromon; I see you got a Tokomon with you." He unclipped the Digivice off the left belt loop on his hip. "Did you get one of these?"
Jack shook his head and his hand dove for the device on his belt. It was a long rectangular thing; and it was a orange and green thing, the screen was black. The thing had three thin buttons below the screen, it had a gray clip ring. "I somehow got a Data Link Digivice instead of what you got."
The redhead looked up at the tree. "I have no idea where we are. Kai, see if you can see where on Earth we are." Kai looked at the two Digimon. "It's kinda obvious we're not on Earth, Jack. But it doesn't hurt to get our bearings, right?"
The forest ranger trainee handed Kai a mini telescope. "Here. I don't have binoculars on me, but use this." Kai climbed up the tree, telescope in hand.
The soccer prodigy had gotten high enough to see the whole forest. "Whoa. And I thought Summer Camp at Lake Tahoe was full of trees!" He looked through the telescope to see cities, towns, a destroyed castle sitting at a lake.
He kept looking around, there wasn't any sign of the world he knew. No restaurants, nothing. Koromon asked, "Whatcha see, Kai?" The boy responded, "Nothing but towns and cities and a lake."
He caught something headed towards him on the telescope. "DUCK!" The two ducked in time to see a giant horned bird attack them. "Oh man, that's one hungry Aquilamon!"
Kai's Digivice displayed a hologram of Aquilamon along with data and stats.
Aquilamon
Level: Champion
Attribute: Free, Data
Type: Giant Bird
Attacks: Grand Horn, Blast Rings
"You have gotta be kidding me!" Kai and Koromon raced down from the tree, and Jack ran with them. Then Kai turned about face and drew a card from his Deck with his right hand. His left hand tossed the D-Ark into the air, the device back flipped in the air for two seconds and he caught it. The device landed back in his hand, the screen was face up.
'I hope this thing works like it does in the TV show!'
The boy raised the device forward along with his card. As he slowly slotted the card, the Digivice read the card. "DIGIMODIFY!" Once the card was read, he swiped the card through the slot. "Pyro Sphere Activate!"
Koromon jumped above Kai's head and cried, "PYRO SPHERE!" The pink guy spat a powerful ball of red fire at the Bird Digimon.
Aquilamon was sent into a pack of trees. Tokomon cried, "Hurry, in here!" Jack gave a skeptical look. "For real? That worked in the show, I'm sure hiding in a tree won't-GAAAH!"
Kai and Koromon shoved the two in the tree. "Oh, just get inside, dude!" Jack dusted himself off. "How'd you know your cards would work?"
The gogglehead responded, "I figured if it worked in the show and it probably works in... where ever we are." He gave a thumbs up. "Lucky hunch, huh?"
Jack sweatdropped. "An even luckier thing was Tokomon knowing that certain trees were hollow. I don't see how you can be so nonchalant when there's a bird Digimon out to eat us?!"
A girl's voice cried out within seconds, "It's okay, you can come out now; my partner talked to him and he's sorry he mistook Kai for a meal." Kai and Jack stepped out of the tree to see Caden chuckling.
Kai thought, 'And just like the first episode, the tomboy shows up to save us. Yep, We're reliving Digimon Adventure alright... althought we weren't attacked by a Kuwagamon...'
Kai spied a pink plant-thing scolding Aquilamon. "Oh wow, a Yokomon. That's three Adventure 01 Digimon I've seen in one day." Caden smiled. "I know. It's crazy, that we're here; what's crazier is that we're partnered with Digimon that were our favorites growing up."
Kai and Jack held up their Digivices as Jack asked, "We got these, what did you get?"
Caden's hand went to her back pocket and she unearthed a small wide "t" shaped device. It was white, on the left side were two buttons and on the right side was a single blue button. In the middle of the buttons was a screen surrounded by Digicode translated to "Digital Monster" On the top left corner was black antenna. "I got the original Digivice."
All three kids eyed their Digivices. "Why do we all have different ones rather than have the same one?" Jack pursed his lips. "Usually all of the kids summoned here get a Digivice all of them use."
That was when Samuel emerged from the bushes; he looked to have been walking for awhile. "Don't ask; I didn't get my partner, however I did get this;" He held up a Digivice.
This one was as big as Jack's Digivice. It was blue with a red grip on the left side. It had a black button on the right side. Below the black screen were three buttons. Two were black and one was a beige color.
Kai whistled, "You got the D-Tector. That's cool. I wonder why you didn't get a partner?" Samuel rolled his eyes, "That's because my favorite isn't a Partner Digimon, Goggles. Try loosening those things from that thick head of yours."
Kai cocked his brow. "No need to snap at me, Sam." Samuel replied, "Take a guess why, Taddeo. You started this whole mess, okay?"
The soldier boy went on, "If you get that feeling to something stupid, don't listen to it." Kai shot back, "Excuse me for hearing a call for help, Sam-"
Samuel glared at him. "Then don't answer it then, and just go your merry way." Jack groaned. "And here we go... He didn't know that it was gonna bring us here, Samuel."
The redhead suggested, "Let's not have you two argue like Taichi and Yamato did in Digimon Adventure right off the bat, savvy? Besides, one of us is missing at the moment."
Kai agreed, "Right, let's get our priorities straight, and find Lunest. She's got to be somewhere in this big forest." A scream answered him. 'Yup. This is just like the first episode of Digimon Adventure. Lunest probably is being attacked by Kuwagamon.'
Kai was the first to move and he drew a card as he ran, "Come on, guys!" The group followed closely behind him, The group found Lunest cornered by a pack of black and grey Styracosaurus looking Digimon. 'Okay, so I was wrong about Kuwagamon; this is worse.'
Kai pointed his Digivice at them. The device's Digimon Analyzer popped up.
Monochromon
Level: Champion
Attribute: Data
Type: Dinosaur
Attacks: Volcanic Strike, Slamming Attack
Kellyn said, "Guys, our Digimon need to provide Lunest cover!" Koromon, Tokomon and Yokomon fired their Bubble Blow attacks at the herd of attackers.
Lunest carried a blue-eyed flame-like creature in her arms as she ran to the others. "The guy in front of his pack was wondering what I was doing in his territory, I tried to explain I just appeared her and these guys called me a liar and DemiMeramon tried to get them to calm down..."
Samuel said, "It looks like you cheesed them off even more, Rosewind." Lunest saw everyone's Digivices. "What in the?"
She looked at hers. Hers was white and about the same size as the palm of her hand. Hers had the same antenna as the 01 Digivice, but on the left side on the screen were two black up and down buttons. The grip was blue and it had a white button. "I got the D-3."
DemiMeramon and the others got in front of the five. The lead Monochromon roared, as did all the others behind. "Out of our way!" Kai cried, "Hey, you attacked us, buddy. What's your deal?"
Monochromon replied, "This is our land. We don't want any humans here in the Hard Drive country. Besides, how do we know you're with those Purifiers?" Jack blinked, "The who?"
A Monochromon roared, "Liars, all of them! Let's take these guys out!" Jack gave an uneasy smile, "Look, we can talk about this rationally, can't we?" Growls resounded from the creatures as he sighed. "So much for that."
Kai cried, "Guys, Time to Digivolve!"
Kai, Caden, Jack and Lunest held up their Digivices. Thanks to Kai's will and determination, a Blue Card appeared in Kai's card hand, Jack's right fist lit up with yellow light. The 01 and D-3 Digivices vibrated as a white meter appeard on the screen.
Samuel checked his Digivice, his was still empty. What was up with that?
-Cue Brave Heart-
Once again, Kai's left hand tossed the D-Ark into the air, the device back flipped in the air for two seconds and he caught it. The device landed back in his hand, the screen was face up. The screen displayed green letters that read, "DIGIVOLUTION."
The boy raised the device forward along with his card. As he slowly slotted the card, the Digivice read the card. "DIGIMODIFY!" Once the card was read, he swiped the card through the slot. "Digivolution Activate!" The white energy from his Digivice streamed towards Koromon.
Jack held his left hand up, the screen on the Digivice read, "Perfect Evolution." He drew his left hand back, He held his fist up, threw it up in the air. "D.N.A..." His right hand landed on his Digivice, pouring the D.N.A. Charge into it. "...Charge!" He thrust the device foward towards Tokomon with his left hand, the screen glowed brightly.
Caden and Lunest's digivices vibrated and sent white energy up into the sky. The skies blackened as a tunnel of Digicode surrounded the lights. The Digicode turned into a blue sparkling star of light that turned yellow. The star sent white light down towards Yokomon and DemiMeramon.
Koromon cried, "Koromon Digivolve to..." Yokomon yelled next, "Yokomon Digivolve to..."
Tokomon yelled, "Tokomon Digivolve to..." DemiMeramon went last, "DemiMeramon Digivolve to..."
Koromon's body glowed and it morphed into a small waist-sized yellow skinned, green-eyed T-rex. Yokomon morphed into a waist-sized pink quail that had a ring around her left ankle. Tokomon had morphed into a yellow-orange green eyed pig with wings for ears, and DemiMeramon morphed into a waist-sized candle-like creature.
"AGUMON!" "BIYOMON!" "PATAMON!" "CANDLEMON!"
Kai and the others had looks of nostalgia upon seeing their partners. Kai cried, "Get 'em, guys!" Agumon fired a fireball from his mouth, "Pepper Breath!"
Biyomon fired a spiral of green flames from her mouth, "SPIRAL TWISTER!" Patamon fired a huge bubble, "BOOM BUBBLE POP!"
Candlemon fired lava from his DigiCore, "LAVA LOOGIE!" All four attacks hit the pack simlutaneously. "VOLANIC STRIKE!"
A pack of fireballs were fired at them. Kai picked a new card. "DIGIMODIFY!" He slotted the card through his Digivice. "WarGreymon Brave Shield, Activate!"
Agumon jumped in front of the others and a hexagonal gold shield that had a sun on it appeared on Agumon's left arm. The shield blocked the attacks as Kai made his next move, "DIGIMODIFY!" He slotted the card through his Digivice. "Howling Blaster, Activate!"
Agumon fired a blast of ice. "Howling Blaster!" The lead Monochromon got hit in the flank by the blast of ice.
"THUNDER FIST!" "FLOWER CANNON!" Thunder and laserfire blocked the pack. Just then, Beetlemon and Lilly arrived on the scene.
Beetlemom charged up his fists for one more blast. "Alright, back away from the kids... NOW!" The lead Monochromon roared, "Make me, Ranger!"
Lillymon readied her cannon and primed it. "Do you really wanna test me, buddy?" Kai and the others were confused. Why were two Digimon from the show defending the kids?
Beetlemon fired more Thunder Fists to send the Dino Digimon packing. He turned to the five. "You five okay?"
Lunest nodded, "Yeah. Thanks to our partners." Lillymon motioned for the kids to come to her. The fairy held a one-time use device. "Yggdrasil wants to see you."
Kai and the others cried out, "What?" "Excuse me?" "No wait-!" was Samuel's protest. The button had been pressed. "WHOOOOOA!"
Next thing the five knew, they landed in a crumpled heap in a white room that had a crystal ball on a stand far from the group.
"Ow! OW. That hurt!" "Ohhh my back!" Lunest's eye twitched. "Who's hand is that on my butt?!"
Jack withdrew his hand. "Sorry." Samuel groaned, "Whoever's butt is this, has 5 seconds to remove it before I kick it."
Biyomon's talon hit Sam in the face. "There's no need to threaten a lady!" Caden blushed when Kai's lips were close to hers.
The group untangled themselves, as the ball spoke. "Ah, you all made it. I wish Lillymon had given you a bit more warning about that device."
Lillymon said defensively, "There wasn't time to warn them, sir." Kai looked around as Caden thought, 'We're in the room Yggdrasil got deleted in during Digimon: X-evolution. Wow. Talk about location, location.'
Meanwhile...
Somewhere in the Hard Drive Region...
A Metal humanoid Digimon sat in the shadows as one of his Angemon reported to him. "So... Humans are here. The rumors are true; Yggdrasil isn't at full strength as he seems."
The Digimon's red visor glowed in the darkness. "The stakes have been raised, eh?" The Angemon also said, "As it seems our supply routes keep strangely shifting."
His master waved it aside, "No doubt due to his work. No matter. I'll deal with him in time." The monster made a gripping gesture with his hand. "Send out Shellmon 2235. He should be able to handle the humans."
Angemon nodded, "Sir." And turned to leave. The two declared, "Death to the X-Antibody Digimon!"
Back in Yggdrasil's throne room...
Yggdrasil asked, "Step foward, children." A screen appeared, showing the footage of Greymon Castle's seige and of The Hard Drive Rangers falling to an unknown enemy. "A new threat is upon us. A threat known as the Purifiers has been killing the X-Antibody Digimon here as I once did. I assure you, this is all real; the Digimon, this world and myself, if any of you are to ask; you are not dreaming."
The god answered, "You are here in the Hard Drive sector where it was once ruled by a king and a queen, protected by Rangers." An eager Jack asked, "As in like forest rangers?"
The God shimmered, "Aye. But the rulers and my Rangers were wiped out." Beetlemon piped up, "Lillymon and I are the only survivors of our team."
Samuel crossed his arms over his chest. "So why not get the Royal Knights, then?" Lillymon said sadly, "Their leader was killed a few days ago, and they're stretched thin fighting these guys all over the Digital World."
Beetlemon looked up as his Creator. "Yggdrasil hasn't fully healed since he had shut down after bringing Mr. Daimon back to life and he's recovering from Omnimon X's All Delete."
Yggdrasil said, "The situation has become dire; the enemy has us tied at every turn. We need your help, Digidestined." Samuel spoke up for his friends. "No thanks."
Beetlemon blinked, "Excuse me?" The kid explained, "We just want to go home. We have no need to get involved in a war that just concerns a god and his underlings."
Beetlemon cried, "You dare speak to Yggdrasil in such a tongue, boy?!" Samuel gave a cool stare. "I dare. Besides this guy is a terribleruler; he tried to purge a bunch of Digimon Knights Templar style and he tried to wipe out humanity once."
Yggdrasil's ball turned, shimmering in the light. "Indeed. I have done those terrible crimes. That is in the past; I have move d on past those days. My rule is now but fair and firm. I cannot take these monsters on myself in this weakened state."
Yggdrasil asked, "You seen what I've shown through your visions, did you not?" The kids nodded.
Lunest piped up, "I saw that there was a purge going on." Jack added, "I saw that there were Digimon with X-marks fighting back."
Samuel grunted, "All I saw was a red visor staring at me, and there were dead bodies everywhere." Caden shuddered, "I saw the visor saying one word, "Deletion." Then it fired some beam and wiped out a group of Digimon."
The girl looked at Kai. "I also saw a white knight fighting a strange metallic Digimon." Kai gasped, "You too?"
The group looked at him. The boy explained, "I've been having these dreams of a crazy final battle. I was there; I turned into this white knight and fought this monster. Whoever he was; he was powerful."
Kai looked to the Digimon god. "Whatever you need us to do-!" Sam said, "Oh no, you're not speaking for us. I just said we're not doing this. So shut up."
Kai shot back challengingly, "And who died and pu t you in charge?" Samuel said, "We need to go home. We have no business interfering with a TV Show or whatever kind of video game we landed ourselves in."
He continued, "This maybe our favorite thing, our favorite show but we have no business in this. We just need to get back home and continue with our lives." Kai scoffed, "You're kidding me right? There's a world out here in danger and we can't just ignore it."
A weary Lunest and Jack looked at each other. "Here we go again." Samuel said, "Just because you wear goggles, doesn't make you the leader."
The boy lectured, "A leader doesn't need a stupid piece of eyewear to call himself a leader. A leader make sound decisions; it's something you clearly can't make, Taddeo." Kai argued, "And you were just speaking for the rest of us saying that we wanted out a few minutes earlier; you didn't even let me finish what I was gonna say to him!"
Samuel said, "That's because I know you're gonna volunteer us for something that we need to keep our noses out of." He turned to Yggdrasil. "Send us back home. Now."
Yggdrasil wasn't even lying when he said this. "I cannot. That was a one-use one-way trip portal. If I attempt to send you home; the enemy would detect it and kill you all before you even get home." The orb said, "I am not kidding. I cannot send you all home."
Kai looked at Sam seriously. "You see? We kinda don't have a choice here." Sam riposted, "We always have a choice."
Beetlemon groaned. "Are humans always like this?" Samuel said, "I don't care if it's a tradition that the one with the goggles leads, You got us here, you don't get to say a word; we have to head home."
Caden cocked a brow. "Oh, and you're calling the shots?" She gave a scolding tone to her voice. "Don't push any of us around; Lunest is the oldest here. she could easily call the shots if she wanted to."
Lunest suggested "Why don't we put it up to a vote, then?" She called out, "Who wants to help?" Four out of five kids raised their hands. "Who wants to go home and just abandon these guys to the winds?" Samuel raised his hand.
Samuel had good reasoning to wanting to leave; he was concerned for their well being and he didn't want any of them going through what his parents had gone though; Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and war. He didn't like the fact that he was going to leave people in danger, but he just didn't want any of his friends to suffer. The last thing he needed was his friends being broken and he'd be the one to put them back together.
The Marine brat caved in. "Fine, We're in." He and the others stood to Yggdrasil with Kai in the center of the team. What do we need to do?"
Yggdrasil showed a map of the Region to them . "Simple, Defend this Region." Lillymon handed them small palmtops. "These are-"
Jack's eyes lit up. "The D-Terminals from Digimon Adventure 02. What do we need these for?" Lillymom said, "It's for communications in case you all get separated from one another."
As one, all of the kids' stomachs started growling. Yggdrasil laughed as he summoned lunch. "Good thing I prepared food in case you all were hungry." Samuel's eyebrows popped up. "Convenient."
Agumon shook his head. "Why do you guys have to dive right in?" Biyomon laughed, "Oh, lighten up, Agumon."
Candlemon munched on his lunch. "Come on, Lizard lips. It's fine!" Agumon munched on his lunch a bit like how his species would eat.
The kids munched on their sandwiches. "Man, that's pretty good!"
"I'll try some of yours," "Sure, go ahead!" "Try the fruit salad, Caden." "Thanks, Kai! Oh whoa! That's yummy!"
Within in the minutes of chatting, sharing food, footsteps ran inside, hurriedly. That didn't sound good.
Beetlemon had come back in the room. "There's no time to finish up lunch, guys. You guys have to get to Koro Town; a Shellmon's attacking it!" He handed Samuel what look to be a Digimon meditating statue. "Here, your H Spirit of Light."
The D-Tector absorbed the Spirit into itself as Beetlemon said, "You mighht wanna hurry; Lillymon and I'll join you soon enough."
Samuel and the others looked to Kai. The boy said, "What?"
Caden and Sam nodded. "Go ahead. Make the call." Kai looked at his best friend. "You sure you want me to do that?"
The Marine brat gave a terse, "Whatever." Kai gripped his D-Ark and started forward, "Let's head out!"
Kai thought as he headed out, 'Why do I get the feeling whatever we wind up doing here today, our lives will never be the same?'
