Alex was sitting at the table wearing a black t-shirt, jeans, half-gloves, his watch, running shoes, and on the table were his sunglasses, he was staring at his brother's birthday cake, bored out of his mind. His little brother Ethan was sitting on the floor, messing with his toy cars and waiting for their dad to get home. In the kitchen, Alex's mom was on the phone with his dad. "Honey, a bad tie is not the Cuban missile crisis, and I hope you remembered its Ethan's birthday today."
Alex tried picking a bite off the cake but his mom said "No touching that cake Alex." He slid the raspberry back into place and saw that his phone was flashing; he opened it and saw a message from an anonymous sender, he opened it and saw the words Do you wish to start? Alex clicked yes and heard a woman's voice say "Alex…Clelland"
Alex's jaw dropped as he read the next message. Take the 5:45 outbound train to Sibuya station. Alex looked up at the clock and saw that it was 5:35. "Ten minutes never stopped me before." He said to himself as he grabbed his sunglasses, got up and ran out the door.
He tore off down the street and arrived at the train station that was linked to Sibuya. He opened his wallet, looking for cash. "Oh man, I knew I shouldn't have blown my last $10 on snacks." His fist slammed into the ticket machine, which came to life and spat out a ticket. He grabbed it and ran in and up the stairs.
On the train, he saw a blonde girl dressed in green and black. The girl pulled out her cell phone and looked at it then at Alex, then back at her phone. Alex looked at his; Interchange at Sibuya.
The train let off and Alex followed the blonde girl all the way to the elevator. The door was closing and Alex started sprinting, jumped and made it in just before the door closed. "Man, I have got to stop landing on my head."
The elevator started downward and continued past the basement, and then the elevator stopped. The doors opened to reveal 10 trains in a circle. The blonde girl took off running and the woman's voice came on his cell phone. "It's your choice Alex. Which train will you choose?" The doors on the trains closed and whistles blew as Alex took off running.
"Man, this sure involves a lot of running" he said as he grabbed the back rail of a train car and hoisted himself on, he saw the blonde girl on the train to his left.
Alex went into the cars and started walking until he reached a car with 3 other teenagers in there. "You guys here about the phone thing?" he asked. They all nodded and Alex asked, "What made you guys choose this train? Was it destiny?"
The husky teen next to him said, "Look man, this train was closest to the elevators. Now just leave me alone."
He turned to the girl across from him "What about you?" he asked.
She smiled, "Unlike him, it was closest to the elevator."
Alex leaned back in his seat and the boy by him said "Hey man, watch this." Then to the girl "Hey honey, you want some chocolate? By the way, my name's Chandler."
The girl just giggled "No thanks, and I'm Katie!" then to Alex "What's your name?"
"My name's Alex." He told them
The other kid who had his head down spoke up and Alex, Katie, and Chandler turned to look at him.
I'm…I'm Matthew, and I didn't want to get on this train. I was pushed on here by bullies. Why does everyone pick on me?" he started sobbing
The train whistle sounded and there was a series of jerking around and the four passengers ended up in a pile on the floor. Alex got up and looked at his cell phone, only to find a strange silver and red device in his hands. He stared at it then looked up to see that the others were looking at theirs too.
Alex heard a voice, the same one that led him to Sibuya. It said "This is your D-tector"
"D-tector, what's this for?" he asked. That's when the train stopped and they were ejected. The train (or Trailmon as they found out) then put it in reverse and disappeared from view. Matt ran after it yelling "Take me with you!"
Alex jumped off the platform and ran after him, "Matt, wait!"
Matt got to the edge and started a balancing act on the rail. Alex stopped him by promising to take him home. Then said "Trailmon told us that if we find a spirit, we can go home." Matt started to come back, and slipped. Alex started out to get him and was tackled by three frightened Digimon.
"Please help us, he's after us." The white one pleaded
"Who's after you?" Alex asked
From out of nowhere came a shout "Emerald Blaze!"
Alex picked up the three Digimon and ran out on to the rail. He got out to Matt and the rail gave way. The 4 on the rail slid down and landed near a huge flame.
Chandler and Katie were out at the edge shortly after the rail gave way. Chandler shouted "You guys ok down there?" that's when a big Digimon jumped over their heads and landed in front of Matt, Alex and the three Digimon.
The little white one (Bokomon) said "That's Cerberemon; his signature attack is emerald blaze."
Cerberemon growled "Where's the spirit?"
Alex just shouted out of little thought "You can't have it! It's mine!"
Alex's D-tector had landed near him. It floated up and fired a white beam at the big flame. The fire became a beam of light, and inside was a spirit. Alex grabbed his Cerberemon's tail and was dragged into the beam.
Cerberemon bore down on the spirit, but he burst into flames and jumped out and extinguished them saying "That's hot!" Alex just cried "SPIRIT!"
Alex D-tector rose off the ground and flew in to his hand. Alex pointed it at the spirit and a white beam grabbed it, and pulled it in. The spirit appeared on the screen and a voice said "It is Time."
Alex raised his right hand and a ring of fractal code appeared around it. Alex placed it on the top of his detector. "EXECUTE!" he pulled it off quickly "SPIRIT EVOLUTION!"
Armor formed around him and when all was said and done he stood there as "PYROMON!"
Bokomon was searching through his book while Neemon made a comment on what he saw "He looks like Agunimon in black." Bokomon looked up and said "Yes Neemon, he's Pyromon, behold, the mystic warrior of flame."
Patamon was in awe "He looks amazing Poppa-mom!"
Pyromon let out a war cry and leapt at Cerberemon.
"What's this? Another kid turning into a Digimon?" Cerberemon said in disbelief
"Oh will you shut up? Inferno Torpedoes!" Pyromon yelled as he let out a large needle-shaped blast of fire. The resulting blast caused Cerberemon to become data.
Pyromon raised his D-tector "Time to show you who's the boss around here. Fractal Code…Digitize!"
With that Pyromon reverted back to Alex. The others gathered around him in awe.
"What happened?" he asked
"You mean before or after you became a Digimon?" Katie questioned
"I was a Digimon?" Alex asked
"Yes, though the process of digivolution you became Pyromon, the mystic warrior of flame." Bokomon explained
"It must have been something I pressed." Alex pressed a button and heard the same voice that brought him to the digital world. "Fractal code rendered." It said
Alex's D-tector lit up and released the fractal code, above them the dead forest village was reverted to its original state. Green and hot with the torches and braziers. Neemon was cheering "Yay! We don't have to live in the train station any more. Trailmon will never go whoo whoo in my ears again.
Bokomon approached Alex and said "Greetings, my name is Bokomon, keeper of the book and writer of the tale of the legendary warriors. And this is my friend Neemon and my son Patamon"
"Legendary warriors, who are they?" Alex asked
Bokomon pulled out a red book and opened it "6 of the legendary warriors were humans from earth, just like you. You may know them; their names are Takuya Kanbara, JP Shibyama, Tommy Himi, Koji Minamoto, Zoe Orimoto, and Koichi Kimura."
Alex recognized one of the names as the kid who lived across the street from him. "Takuya Kanbara lives across the street from me; the guy owes me $10 from a bet he made with me and then lost. I won't go into any details about it."
"Any way, the legendary warriors were able to defeat Lucemon, and restore this world to its former glory. But know its back in turmoil again as the legendary warriors have disappeared and Lucemon's evil counterpart Voidramon is controlling DarkKingmon. We need you guys to help save the digital world again." Bokomon explained
Alex looked at the others; they nodded and followed Bokomon. Halfway into the main village, Matt and Chandler slipped off and accidentally angered a few Demimon. They were chased until they fell into a hole; Matt dropped his D-tector in the process.
