First a lightning flashed cross the dark sky..

And then the deafening roar of the thunder could be heard across miles and miles. This was a sign of a birth, a birth of a whole new Digimon.

A sole black and white colored egg was resting on the forest ground, ready to make its first move.

It cracked.

A top portion of the egg was taken out and a Digimon was trying to break its way out. The tiny creature was no bigger that your ordinary football. It has a black fur skin, followed by a yellow face and two black eyes. It has a yellow beak.

The tiny creature had stepped forth to a whole new world. It was very confused and scared at the same time. How many creatures no bigger than a football survived a night through the forest in a cold rainy day anyway? Its surrounding senses told him that he was a male. He guessed that. He also knew he was a Beakymon.

So what am I supposed to do anyway? It thought.

No answer came and so he just walked away from the forest. It was hard work cause giant leaves were flying towards its direction every now and then. Its wings were undeveloped and could not carry him up. Even if it does, the chances of being struck by lightning were very high.

While walking away from the forest, he started to think of other things to push him away from the thought of fear. He decided to name himself.

Beakymon. Beaky. Certainly not the most creative name in the world. It thought.

Finally, the disastrous weather ended. Vision was clear again and Beaky could now see clearer than before. He walked and walked and walked until he ended out on a flat land. It seemed to be a beach shore. Beaky approached to the open sea, wanting to feel how does water taste like. He dips his tongue into the water and took a sip.

This is so tasty! Not to mention refreshing! Beaky thought and he started to take a couple more sips.

"WHO DARES DRINK THE WATER FROM THE MIGHTY ONE?" An extremely loud roared came from the sea. Beaky jumped back in fright and started to run towards the forest. An enormous creature appeared out from the water. It was at least three stories high and has a serpent- shaped body. Its body seems to be encased in golden metal plate.

"DON'T YOU DARE RUN?! COME BACK HERE!" barked the creature, which is known as the king of the sea, Metalseadramon. Beaky, not knowing any form of stuff just obeyed the orders and slowly walked back to Metalseadramon.

"DON'T BE AFRAID. MY VOICE IS JUST THAT LOUD. I WON'T HURT YOU. IKKI WILL DEFINITELY BE ANGRY WITH ME IF I HURT YOU." Boomed the king of the sea. Beaky, not understanding half of the message just looked at him with puzzled eyes.

"COME LITTLE ONE, YOU ARE A NEW SPECIES OF DIGIMON THAT IKKI PREDICTED," Metalseadramon turned to the sea. "YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW ME TO FILE CITY." Beaky looked at Metalseadramon, not knowing what to do, he just stood there.

Metalseadramon looked at Beaky with his scary eyes, Beaky, afraid decided to speak to him. " What do you mean by that? Am I really that important?" Beaky squeaked, hoping to see that Metalseadramon does not give him a tail smack.

Metalseadramon looked at Beaky and then roared loudly. Beaky thought that he had angered the king of the sea then he realized that Metalseadramon was actually laughing. "HAHA - OF, OF COURSE YOU'RE IMPORTANT LITTLE ONE. HAHAHA, YOU'RE A NEW SPECIES! YOU COULD BE A GOD!" Metalseadramon's eyes were in tears from all of the laughing.

Beaky did not know whether to smile, run or think 'this guy is nuts', so he just stood there and waited for Metalseadramon to make the first move. Metalseadramon looked at him, and said "HERE LITTLE ONE, I'LL EXPLAIN A BIT OF THIS WORLD TO YOU. WE DIVIDE THE WORLD TO 4 PARTS. THE VACCINCE CONTINENT, THE DATA CONTINENT, THE VIRUS CONTINENT AND THE MEDIDTATION CONTINENT. YOU'RE IN MEDIDTATION CONTINENT WHERE DIGIMONS ARE KIND AND NOT WILD."

Beaky did not understand half of that sentence and gave Metalseadramon a look that says plainly ' What was that again?' Metalseadramon suddenly looked dishearten and suddenly, brighten up again, "NEVER MIND ABOUT THAT BOY. CLIMB ON MY BACK."

Beaky leaped to Metalseadramon's tail and hopped to his head. The metal plate felt eerily cold due to the rainy day just a few moments ago. Metalseadramon soon sped off, leaving the forest far behind. The surrounding area started to change. Deserts, deserts and more deserts, replaced the evergreen forests. The water was crystal-blue and Beaky suddenly had a crazy thought of jumping down to the water to take a swim.

How do I swim anyway? Beaky thought. "THERE IS FILE CITY LITTLE ONE," Metalseadramon sped towards an area filled with houses and more houses. It was unmistakably a village. Beaky thought. On and on they went, soon they reached the File City Dock.

"CALL IKKI HERE." Metalseadramon boomed to another creature, which is orange and looks like a lizard. He is bigger than Beaky. "Sure do," the creature walked towards a run down house and came out a few moments later with a creature that stands on two legs and has black hair all over his head. "IKKI! I BROUGHT HIM HERE!" Metalseadramon boomed towards the creature with black hair.

"I'LL LEAVE YOU HERE FOR NOW LITTLE ONE," Beaky leaped off Metalseadramon's tail. "SEE YOU LATER!" And he sped away. Beaky turned towards the orange lizard and the creature with black hair. The creatures seemed to be examining him.

"Interesting, very interesting." The black-haired creature spoke.

"What's so interesting about me?"

"Oh, I'm very sorry. I've got carried away. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Ikki. The ruler of File City and I'm a Terrjijimon. This is Agumon. File city's only dock handler."

"And best one too," Agumon replied.

"Er, okay. I'm Beaky, well a Beakymon." Beaky said to the new digimons he met.

"Beakymon? How did you know that Beaky?" Ikki questioned Beaky, looking very excited.

"Erm. I don't really know how to explain this." Beaky said.

"Oh yes, you're just a Fresh. Sooner or later, you'll be bigger and will digivolve to another stage." Ikki said, smiling to Beaky.

"I'm a Fresh? Then, what stage is that Metalseadramon guy?" Beaky asked Ikki.

Ikki smiled, "You're a curious digimon little one. Metalseadramon is a Mega stage. Mind you that stage has devastating power and wisdom."

" Oh, okay." Beaky not knowing what to said. Agumon soon started to rush towards the dock. There was a huge whale near the dock. He must be unloading the goods. Beaky thought. The whale's big mouth opened wide. Inside it were two more new creatures. They were about the same size of Agumon. Perhaps they were the stage after Fresh?

"Those are rookie stage." Ikki, who seemed to have read Beaky's mind answered his troubled question.

"What stages are there Ikki?" Beaky asked.

"You only need to know that you're a Fresh, who will digivolve to In-Training and soon to Rookie stage." Ikki smiled. "You need a few advisors to teach you the means of this world." Ikki took out a notepad from his pocket and flipped a couple of pages before saying, "Ah-ha!" He walked towards a long pole; on top of the pole was a big loudspeaker.

"CALLING PATAMON AND BIYOMON. PLEASE APPROACH FILE CITY DOCKS IMMEDIATELY." Ikki's voice echoed cross the village. Soon, a pink colored bird and an orange colored mammal with outstanding ears came.

"You called us Ikki?"

"Yes, and I have a job for you."

"Oh, what will the job be Ikki?"

"I need you to teach this young digimon about our world. Please be patient with him." Ikki said and pointed to Beaky. Beaky suddenly felt uneasy. He started to let out a noise that sounded like, 'gurpb, gurb.' Ikki heard that noise and knew instantly what caused it.

Hunger.

"Eat more Beaky." Ikki ushered Beaky on the food. He was now in Ikki's house. The outside of it may be a bit run-down, but the inside of it is absolutely beautiful. It has the best striking color painted on the wall, a nice and comfy living room and delicious food. Beaky started to reach for something which Ikki called 'meat' It was a dark brown colored thing with bones stood out.

"Don't bite the bone too hard little one, it may break your teeth. Its that white thing there," Ikki had explained to Beaky before. Chomp. Beaky took another bite of the meat and suddenly felt very different from before. He felt like he was going to explode. He dropped his meat.

"What is it Beaky?" Ikki looked, very anxiously.

"My stomach, it-it hurts.." Beaky grabbed his stomach. Suddenly, a great flash of light shined through the room. Beaky started to grow bigger; he had more strength, more stamina and more wisdom. When the light ended, Ikki was not staring at Beakymon anymore. He was staring at..

"Eaglmon. I'm Eaglmon now." Beaky said.

"But, how did you know that?" Ikki asked.

" Don't know. I just know." Beaky said back. Looking at himself, he found out that he was bigger now and has white fur around his head. Majority of his body was still covered with black fur though and he could expand his wings now. He was still a bit uncertain of his ability to fly.

"You follow me Beaky. I'm bringing you to the Analyzing room. Maybe, we could check out what you are." Ikki said excitedly and lead the way.

The trip to the Analyzing room was not very pleasant. Digimons of all type were pointing at Beaky, some of them were afraid, some of them were excited of the new species and some of them didn't even cared. Beaky felt very uneasy because of this.

Alas, they reached the analyzing center. The exterior design of it was excellent. The shiny outer surface gleamed from the Sun. It had automatic doors too. They entered the room and saw a blue and orange colored horse tending it.

"New species to analyze Ikki?" The horse said with a low voice.

"Yep Centarumon. This is a new species." Ikki replied. So, he is a Centarumon. I see. Beaky thought.

"This way please," Centarumon pointed to his left. To the left was a room; it had a sign on top that says, " Analyzing Room".

The analyzing room was pretty big. It has an enormous computer and about another hundred of screens.

"I know this room is pretty complicated but it holds the most advanced digimon analyzing technique in the world!" Ikki beamed, looking pretty proud of himself. Ikki lead them to the computer and started to type something in. Beaky was beside him, staring in astonishment.

"Now Beaky, put your palm here on this laser and let it scan you for a while." Ikki instructed.

Beaky obeyed the orders and allowed the red laser to roam around its palm. Finally, it stopped and the screen light up. The screen reads, "Eaglmon. In-Training Digimon. Vaccine. Eagle type digimon. Finishing move is the Eagle Talons."

"Eagle Talons?"

"Yep. That's your finishing move. Its like your trademark attack you see."

"Oh, okay."

Beaky looked down at his talons, wondering how will his finishing move look like. Ikki seemed to have read his mind and called upon someone named, 'Hawkmon'. Soon, Hawkmon arrived.

He looks like me! Maybe, I'm a new Hawkmon type. Beaky realized why Ikki called upon Hawkmon - to test his finishing move.

"Now, try to use your finishing move on me. Don't worry, I'm an advanced stage and it won't hurt me much. Plus, its good training for later on."

"But - but how?" Beaky looked at Hawkmon with puzzled eyes.

"Eagle Talons. You're part eagle. So, I guess it will involved those talons of yours."

"What about that?"

"Just give it a shot," Hawkmon smiled, "saying the name of the attacks help too."

"Erm. okay." Beaky moved back, and launched forward his talons, "EAGLE TALONS!" The white talons of Beaky cut Hawkmon's face, leaving a bright red scar.

"Ouch, watch it!" Hawkmon shrieked.

"Sorry, you say it won't hurt!" Beaky replied.

"You seemed to be an advanced species!" Hawkmon explained.

"What do you mean by that?"

"It means, when you are at In-Training stage, you have the power of a Rookie stage."

"Oh." Beaky thought of the only word that came to his mouth. There was silence for a while.

"Interesting. very interesting." Ikki broke the silence.

"What's so interesting about me?" Beaky asked Ikki, hoping to find a logical answer.

"Nothin' little one, come with me." Ikki instructed him to follow Ikki to the digivolving room, located on the right of Centarumon.

The digivolving room is bright blue, it has a single casing being plugged by lots of wires.

"This," Ikki pointed to the single casing, "is the digivolving chamber. It involves transferring energy to your body, causing you to digivolve to a Rookie stage. Now, will you please step in there?"

Beaky, always obeying orders went into the chamber. Inside it was very cooling and quiet. Ikki closed the chamber door and started to type in some commands to the Super Computer and the chamber started to warm up. Beaky could see the wires starting to glow, the chamber ceiling started to brighten, there was a strange feeling in his stomach. Is this the digivolving feeling?

"Hold on now, its starting to power up." Ikki said.

The chamber lighted up with bright light, Beaky suddenly felt very strong, as if he was going to explode. What will I digivolve to? What, what, what?
