Deal With it
The sun is shining, the flowers seem to give off a aroma of happiness, and the world seemed to shine with a glow that could infect anybody. However, for one 5th grader Harleen Onwell, this was not the case, to preoccupied with worrying about her own shadow to lose herself in the scenery.
If people were to see her, the would first notice her NATURAL blue hair, accompanied by her very emotional violet eyes, that let people read her emotions like a book, and how she was slightly tiny.
She looked slightly cute, with her long light green long sleeve shirt that slightly covered her hands and almost reached down to where her short sleeved pair of black pants. The second thing they would notice is how she seemed to be shy or scared of almost everything around her.
Harley hadn't always been like this, no she used be a fun loving girl, but that was when she was little, only around 5 years of age, and things had changed sense then.
Now she walked down the sidewalk, pass the park, slightly hurrying to not get seen by the other girls who like to bully her. Harley looked slightly up and swept her eyes across the park, seeing the other girls preoccupied with something else at the moment.
She sighed, before hearing a beeping noise in her pockets, signifying her phone had gone off.
Harley froze in panic, scared that she had made her caretaker angry somehow, before tentatively reaching into her pocket and grasping the device.
She quickly clicked on the text message, getting something she had never expected. "Harley Onwell, the time is now, do you accept your destiny?" Harley almost dropped her phone at the message and voice that accompanied it.
The destiny part sounded alright though, and her life at the moment seemed like it couldn't get any worse. Harley slightly shrugged to herself, before tentatively pressing on Yes. It doesn't take long for the phone to reply again, quickly sending Harley off to a train station nearby.
Harley quickly turns around, only to be met by a band of girls who all have slight smirks that seemed to be filled with malice. The first girl in the crowd, walks up slightly about to say something that would most likely hurt Harley's feelings, when Harley quickly reacted, on a mission to get to the train station.
Now, unless you knew her personally, you would think that Harley is very weak, needing to rely on her smarts more than brawn. This is where you are most dreadfully wrong. With Harley's mass amount of fears and anxieties, she almost obsessively trained her body in strength and speed.
These attributes are only increased by Harley's skill in martial arts. Harley looked at the crowd of girls and did something that even she didn't expect herself to do. Harley quickly ran up to the head girl, grasping her shoulders with her hands and used her to propel herself over the group.
This little bit of gymnastic awesomeness left the group of girls in shock, not allowing them to get their heads out of their disbelief until Harley had already left their sight. Harley didn't know what had gotten into her, but she knew that whatever her destiny was, she couldn't be late for it.
Harley later arrived at the train station, before realizing that she had an adventure of hopping trains for the next hour or so.
It wasn't long before she had gotten to the right place, about to run to the elevator that the phone had referred to when she got hit in the shoulder by somebody else. Out of the surprise of being hit out of the blue, she fell rather harshly with the offender yelling sorry, before jumping through the elevator at the last minute.
Harley only had time to catch the eyes of the only other two boys who looked a lot alike in elevator, one having a calm, almost steely gaze that frightened her slightly, but the other having a warm, friendly gaze that drew Harley in like a moth to a flame.
Harley let out a squawk of sadness, having been so close to reaching her destiny. She pushed herself up from the ground, unusually furious at the perpetrator who had ruined her destiny. She looked over and saw what looked like a stairway that went down to the same way the elevator went down.
She went quickly over to the stairway, but tragically tripping at the start of it. The last thing Harley saw before she blacked out was the rapidly approaching floor.
She doesn't notice the dark mist surround her carrying her to who know where while also letting some itself pore into the open mouth of the unconscious girl.
A Few Hours Later
Harley suddenly wakes up, getting a face full of sunlight, surprising her. She leaps up, and quickly darts her gaze around trying to figure out where she is. Harley observed that she was in a deep forested area, her occupying a wide clearing.
Harley was starting to get scared, when a loud noise from her pocket blared, making Harley jump a little and shriek in fright. He hurriedly brought out the object, her phone she realized, and looked at it expectantly.
The machine sent out a screeching sound, before starting to glow white. Harley was about ready to chuck the thing and run screaming, when the light died down, showing off a new device in her hand.
The machine was purple with a gray grip, and Harley could feel a connection to it. The machine's screen lighted up, making Harley want to chuck it again, before the voice from before went through the clearing.
"Harley Onwell, this is your destiny, you must find you spirit." the machine blared and then shut off, leaving a slightly more knowledgeable, but more nervous Harley.
She looked around a bit more before randomly choosing a direction, timidly heading off, one arm grasping the other, and you could almost feel the waves of uncomfortableness and awkwardness.
It wasn't long before Harley found a dirt road, and having no where else to go, uneasily joined it, going down the path in hopefully a good direction. As she went down the path she could easily see that the forest was becoming less and less dense, before the oath took a sharp left in to the woods.
You could see the uneasiness increase on Harley's face when she was in the forest, but was shocked completely out of her frightened funk when she saw a village.
She ran a bit fast, hoping to find someone to explain to her what she needed to do. She was only a few feet way from the entrance when she had to jump out of the way to avoid a dangerous projectile that seemed to erupt in a small explosion.
Harley got up dizzily onto her feet, only to cower when a she saw a huge shadow surrounding her. In almost a comical fashion, she slowly turned her head to see a huge strange creature.
If it wasn't for the size of the beast, Harley might have laughed, but she was now shaking in her cloths. The beast looked like a giant mud snow man. It had dark eyes and a slight round nose with a slightly different tinted color buttons on its stomach.
The beast looked down at her curiously, but also cautious. It started to looked confused when he noticed the machine that Harley had newly acquired.
He stood up with a jolt, obviously shocked by something, making Harley prepare for the worst when the beast looked down once more, but with excitement and happiness.
This gaze let Harley stop shaking and timidly embraced the feeling that she didn't get regularly.
The beast seemed to still for a minute, thinking something over than spoke, "Hello, human, my name is MudFrigimon, I am the forest version of Frigimon, the snow digimon."
Harley looked at the beast with inquisitive stare and asked, "Whats a digimon?" This seemed to send the beast of into laughter before calming down and explaining.
"A digimon is the name for all the creatures that inhabit this world, the DigiWorld." Harley's eyes widened when she heard this, wondering how she had been sent to a different world and, more importantly, how was she going to get out?
She started to get scared, and thankfully, MudFrigimon noticed the look in her eyes, and not liking it, suggested, "How about you rest in my Village, I'm the guardian of this uprising community."
"What is this placed called?" Harley asked, again looking at the momentarily ignored wooden gated village. MudFrigimon seemed to be happy to talk about his village, so Harley let him talk his heart out.
He said "This is Osshan Village, a DigiVillage that dutifully prepares Rookie digimon for when they become Champion. That right their in the middle is the Tree of Everlasting and is some what of a mascot for our Village" Harley gives a confused stare that makes MudFrigimon sheepishly rub the back of his head and say, "Well you don't really know what those things are so why don't I actually explain the workings of the DigiWorld." Harley nods, liking that idea very much.
After a quick run through of the workings of digimon and the current disaster at hand with the balance of the world, MudFrigimon is interrupted by a chorus of exclamations. Harley looks over to the noise, quickly hiding behind MudFrigimon when she sees a small crowd of Rookie digimon running over.
MudFrigimon comforts Harley gently pushing her forward. Harley nervously waves a hand in salutations, and begun the everlasting shouts of amazement from the Rookies.
They talked and talked, sprouting out what they did to day and telling her their names, like Agumon, Palmon, and a whole lot others, giving Harley a small headache while trying to politely remember all the names.
After a while, the excited buzz of meeting a human abated and Harley could once again see the village without a digimon jumping and trying to get her attention.
She gazed at the small village that seemed to have a multitude of huts that seemed pretty durable as well as a few bigger buildings that Harley assumed was the schools.
She looked at the small groups of digimon that were scattered around, Harley noticed that even in the DigiWorld their were social Cliques, but also looking at the Tree of Everlasting, a tree that was huge and really looked like it would last forever no matter the trouble.
Her eyes, however, were pulled away from the tree when she noticed a small Rookie with a book on the ground. It was a small yellow puppy with bright green eyes, showing off all emotions, but had a slight lonely look in its eyes.
Harley saw those kind of eyes in the mirror every single day, but on a larger scale. She took in a deep breath, and exhaled, trying to gather confidence and strode over to the lonely digimon.
She was a few inches from the digimon, when she stopped bent down and tried to get the digimon's attention, "H-Hello?" The digimon, who had been blissfully unaware of Harley's presence, got a surprised look in its eyes and leaped back slightly, looking up at Harley wearily, like waiting for something bad.
Harley continued timidly, glancing around slightly "Um, I just wanted to come and talk to you, you looked lonely, and I just wanted to see if I could help, maybe lend a listening ear?" The digimon still looked somewhat cautious, but lost the look immediately when he saw the genuine worry and concern in Harley's eyes.
The digimon gained a sad look and started "M-My name is Salamon, the o-other digimon don't like me because my species have d-deep roots in the history of the D-DigiWorld. They don't l-like me because the teacher sometimes goes on and on about how g-great I will be o-one day. T-They dislike it so they torment me or neglect me, making fun of my b-big e-ears and how I'll never be s-strong, or they generally just don't let me p-play with t-them."
At this point the poor digimon was crying and Harley gathered her up in her arms, looking slightly uncomfortable while comforting her.
Harley didn't know how to deal with this, she could feel a cold rage sweep through her body, wanting to be released and along with it a slight whisper, "Destroy the offenders, they deserve the ultimate payback for their wrongdoing", Harley, still holding Salamon, quickly glanced around not liking that voice, it had sounded like her own, but was eviler, and had a tone of seduction in its whispers that made Harley WANT to do what it said.
She shook her head, wiping those thoughts out of her head, and went back to the current situation at hand.
She said, "Don't worry Salamon, their just jealous of you and your potential. Don't let them get to you. How about we hang out? Just us talking and having a good time." Salamon looked up with happy and hope filled eyes, nodding almost quick enough for Harley to become worried about her again.
Just as Salamon was about to answer, a large crash was heard on the other side of the village. Harley and Salamon looked up worried, and gained a surprised look at the monster that was standing at the now gaping hole of the once mighty wood wall.
It looked like a giant yellow ape. It might have been cute if it wasn't so big, or had a giant bone in its tensed arms, or maybe it was the blood lust in its eyes that sold the deal? Who knows, the only thing for sure is that the yellow ape was scaring the Rookies, who had rushed to their respective homes. Harley wasn't sure what to do, but Salamon seemed to have no qualms about a mad dash towards the beast.
Harley gained a new respect for the small creature. The yellow ape, Apemon if what the Rookies yelled rang true, was seemingly surprised at the attack by such a small creature, but regained its composure and yelled "Mega Bone Smash!" swinging its bone weapon, hitting Salamon out of the sky and into one of the sides of the huts, hurt.
Harley glanced over trying to find MudFrigimon, recognizing his figure at one of the huts, trying to keep everyone calm. Harley looked on in dismay as the creature started walking towards Salamon, who was still dizzy from her unexpected flight.
Harley grabbed onto the determination and rare courage in her gut and forced it out, making her legs move as fast as she could towards the yellows ape. Apemon didn't know what hit it when Harley jumped up kicked the side of his face hard enough for him to fall down and skid slightly.
Harley raced over to Salamon to make sure she was okay and saw that she was fine, just slightly swirly-eyed. Due to her scrutinizing gaze on Salamon, Harley didn't notice the now even more enraged Apemon. Salamon suddenly gained back her composure enough to attack properly, "Sledge Dash" propelling herself with her strong hind-legs and ramming her head into the towering Apemon, making it stumble back.
Harley, noticing the Apemon finally, jumps away from the digimon, trying to regain some safe ground.
Harley sees Apemon, who had recovered quickly, about to swing his bone once more on the stumbling Salamon. Harley saw this was overcome by a need to protect the digimon who had a life like hers in lonesomeness and sadness. She could feel a slight evil intent in herself trying to taint the power, but she wouldn't allow it.
She heard a whirling sound in her pocket. Pulling it out she saw the strange device light up again and say, "It is Time!" Harley instinctively held the machine out with both hands and yelled "SPIRIT!", gaining the Apemon's attention. The Tree of Everlasting started to glow before an object was seen being torn away from the structure shooting towards Harley.
Harley's machine caught the spirit, giving Harley a determined look in her eye. With a circle of data on her hand she yelled while slamming it on to the machine "EXECUTE SPIRIT EVOLUTION!".
The data surrounded her incubating her form while she was in DigiEvolution State. Inside the swirling mass of data, Harley was excited, she had never felt this power before, she could feel it hardening into parts and slamming themselves onto her. She could feel her body changing, twisting and turning and objects attaching onto her. She felt a searing pain go through her body due to the changes, but instead of screaming, let out a crazed laugh.
Apemon didn't know what to expect when the data died down, but he certainly didn't expect a red robed and black caped blonde woman to eject out of the data orb on a broomstick with a huge manic grin on her face, yelling "Witchmon!" (this is where you go look up Witchmon).
As Witchmon gazed at Apemon with her slightly disturbing open mouth smile, he suddenly felt like he wasn't going to leave this the winner.
A/N: This is my take on the Digimon Frontier if my OC Harley was a part of it. She will be taking the place of Kouichi as the nice guy turned bad, but it will be a gradual change and she will interact with the others in the next few chapters. Tell me how you like and if you want it to continue. Also, feel free to leave any suggestions about this story.
