Xros Heart In Magic Land
Hello, and welcome to my other new Digimon fanfic, and this time, it will involve MOST of the Xros Heart team from the anime, though Taiki Kido, Yuu Amano and Tagiru Akashi will be the main characters here as they set in a NEW adventure. However, unlike the third arc "The Young Hunters Who Leapt Through Time", in which this story is set after the anime, Taiki and the rest will be embroiled in the Digital World, as the place there will be somewhat...different.
The fic is set after the finale of the third chapter, The Young Hunters Who Leapt Through Time, but the story takes place during "Tagiru's Bizarre Adventures", and this embarks Xros Heart on an adventure they would never expect, as aside from facing Digimons' they will also contend with fellow humans. That's right..fellow humans. Moreover, other prominent characters, such as Nene Amano, Akari Hinomoto, Zenjirou Tsurugi, Kiriha Aonuma, Ryouma Mogami, Airu Suzaki, and Ren Tobari will be there for support, and play a role in this new adventure.
And lastly, Takuya Kanbara will also share the lead role, along with Izumi Orimoto. That's right, this fic will also be linked with my other Digimon fic, "Digital Wizard", meaning that magic will play a role in this story.
Well, That's the summary I can tell you right now, but you'll soon see where this would lead to, so here is the first chapter, so read and enjoy!

The scene first showed in the year 1841, where it shows that the time line of Japan was during the Tokugawa era, and several months ago, an infant was born from two Japanese parents, whose father is a well known politician, but secretly a corrupt one, whose power and influence has spread nearly all over the several parts of Japan, and intends to and pass this "dynasty" to his son, who as eventually named "Auma".
"Ahh...I finally got a son..."
"Yes...and he looked just like you, my dear..."
"Let's raise him well...VERY well."
"What do you have in mind?"
"When he grow up...he will follow my footsteps. He will usher Japan to a new age."
"Just like you?"
"Yes...just like me."
"As you wish, my beloved."

Indeed, as the years went and gone by, the Tokugawa era ended and Japan enters the Meiji era, and by now Auma is 27 years old and is now slated to become the "youngest" Prime Minister due to his father's influence and supporters, as this is because he has inherited his father's "corruptness" and shrewdness, but then the outgoing-Japanese Emperor chose someone else to succeed the position and thus Auma's plan to ascend to that position was thwarted, yet he managed to retain his position as the Prime Minister's "right-hand", and plans to secretly assassin the current Prime Minister so that he can usurp that position and use his influence to gain allies and use them as his conspirators in planning to assassinate the emperor and take over that position.
However, Artemio Yamagata, the current Prime Minister, has won the hearts and support of the Diet, and thus making hit nearly impossible to corrupt the diet members and thus Auma is forced to bid his time and wait for the right moment to strike, though he was patient enough to consider the plans on how to mount a successful coup d' etat even if he has to age longer than most power-hungry warmongers.
"Thank you, Auma..."
"Me?"
"Yes...because of your efforts, we managed to have our country lead a peaceful life...and managed to curb the corruption out of our political system..."
"Er...that is nothing."
"Please continue to support me and my plans...I intend to have our government come out clean..."
"In your dreams...I will take over your position and make this country the dragon of all Asia..."
"What?"
"Nothing."

In the early decades of 1900, Auma is now nearing his 80's, in which he is now in a semi-fragile body yet managed to maintain his health through herbs given by some of his "contacts" within the "herbal industry", and by this time computers became a "boom" which information and data collecting started to thrive, and Auma began to take interest as a means to gather information and to keep tabs on the Japanese Diet as World War II is looming.
At this time, a strange phenomenon is taking place as data gathering and collecting became increasingly "viral", in which the "Digital World" is slowly being born, and anthropomorphic creatures made of data from computers are born, and within the decade the Digital World has been populated with "Digimons", and as the years passed by, the Digital World has become a host of several worlds of the Digital realm, and this includes the "Magic Land", where "magical Digimons" are born,
And in the years that follow, the inhabitants of the "Magic Land" increases and soon developed a "tribal" governance, one representing the "forces of good" and the other the "forces of evil", where both sides have developed the use of magic, as well as science (such as alchemy), where leader of the "forces of evil" is finally introduced, a Digimon that resembled a carbuncle, identified only as "Wiseman". As the two sides went in to "tribal war", Wiseman uses the opportunity to travel as look for other means to strengthen his side, and soon developed the ability to travel freely to other dimensions, which included the human world.

At Japan, the year now is 1941, and that country is embroiled in a war which involved the vast majority of the world's nations—including all of the great powers—eventually forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis.
It was the most widespread war in history, with more than 100 million people, from over 30 different countries, serving in military units. In a state of "total war", the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources.
Japan is among those affiliated with the "Axis Power", and are led by allies of Auma, who managed to assassinate Artemio Yamagata and used means to stay in power and allowed his allies and "cronies" to take over.
However. Auma was forced to "step down" as his chronological and physical age have taken its toll on him, and soon afterwards, he is "abandoned" and neglected, and as the war intensifies, Auma was slowly dying and went in to the midst of despair, wishing that there was a way for him to live longer and rule not only Japan, but also other neighboring countries, much like what German leader Adolf Hitler has been doing since the start of WW II.
By then, Wiseman appeared from the portal and saw Auma, and then saw the battle within Japan and the Allied Powers are doing, and intrigued, he spoke to Auma as a way to get to know him and the human world, which Auma answered thinking that he is about to be "fetched" by a "demon" from the netherworld.
"Greetings, human..."
"Eh...? Am I seeing...things...?"
"No...you are seeing the REAL thing..."
"What...what is it do you want...with me...?"
"I've been watching you since then...and developed an interest in you. I saw what you're intending to do...and am willing to help you...if you help me in exchange."
"Really...? If I help you...you'll help me regain control of my country...?"
"Normally, no...but with my talents...through science and magic...I can."
"Then I accept! I'll do anything you ask! Just help me...!"
"Come with me, then...the first I can do is restore your "youth"...that way you can physically make an impresion to my subordinates if you are to become my "right-hand".."
Wiseman took the dying Auma with him and left for the Digital World's "Magic Land", and there he had his "alchemists" and fellow "magicians" use scientific and "magical" means to save Auma, in which they did as Auma's body, as well as his age and vitality, have been regressed to that of a 50-year old man. Now "younger", Auma decided to stay in Magic Land to learn how to use magic and how to apply it in ruling the real world stating with Japan.
To Be Continued…
Hope you like this chapter even though it only showed the main villain and his "beginning", but this is important as to how he would become a threat to Taiki and the gang, and why he is give the position of being the "main villain" and how he would give Xros Heart a hard time, and what significance he holds as he is taken to the "Magic Land" by the enigmatic "Wiseman", given that he was "magically" and physically regressed to that of a 50-year old man.
Preview:
More on "Auma" and how he spent his "succeeding years" and what he is doing during the "80's, '90's and beyond before coming across the Xros Heart members and why he considers them a threat to his future plans, and what he intend to do with them.
Yup, Taiki Kudo and his friends will appear in the next chapter, where their "beginnings" will be chronicled before the main story connects...
