The basics of the first season of Digimon, but with the nine TMNT kids thrown in instead.
At the age of nine, on a vacation to Odaiba, Japan, they all met their first Digimon. Now, four years later, and with suppressed memories of that night, they have to fight their way through the Digital World, their powers dimmed and unhelpful. But as the crests they receive show more about them than they even knew, their bonds will strengthen, and they will make new, life long friends...
Just so you know, this is MY series of TMNT, so, if you don't know it, just read or e-mail me before reading this story.
No pairings. But I hope you like the story anyway!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They didn't want to go on vacation, especially not to Japan! They were only nine, for Christ's sake! AND they weren't aloud to bring ANY weapons! Were their parents trying to get them killed?! Amber was the only one accompanying them, and they PLEADED not to go! But no one listens to nine nine year olds nowadays!
They'd just gotten off the plane at Odaiba, but they weren't happy about it as Amber showed them to the large apartment they'd be renting for the summer months in Japan. It was located in Highton View Terrace, but, though everything seemed nice, they still seemed miffed. They had to share a rather large room, while Amber got her own.
That night, they were all still wide awake, too nervous to sleep, when a bright light from outside caught their attention. They ran to the window, and Ruby, curious, ran out in the balcony to see the strange egg. It was huge, with colorful markings all over it.
She lifted it up, rubbing it slightly, to see if the paint would come off, when it started shaking. She looked at it apprehensively, when it cracked, showing a little black puffball with yellow eyes.
"Awww…aren't you cute?"
She hugged it tight, and it seemed to make a contented purring sound. The others came out, and hugged the strange creature in turn. When Ruby gave it some fruit she'd gotten from the kitchen, it started to shake.
"What's wrong?" she whispered, petting it's head, when there was a bright light, and it turned to a different shape, a pink head with strange ears and large brown eyes.
"Whoa…what was THAT?" Rose questioned, her red/brown eyes confused. The creature, now larger, jumped away, and they followed it to the kitchen. He whined as he tried to get into the fridge, and they opened the door for him.
MAN, did that little guy eat A LOT!! It was insane how he seemed to eat everything so fast! But when he seemed to get sick, Anna sighed.
"He ate too much…now he'll be sick…"
He hopped out, Gem and Ruby behind him, though the latter told the others to stay behind. When they reached the streets, Gem stopped when she saw the creature glow again, turning into what looked like a large yellow dinosaur with green eyes.
It was bigger than her, so she hugged him, jumping on his back.
"GEM!!!"
'Mom's gonna KILL me!!'
The large creature started moving down the street, when something caught his attention, making him look up. Ruby ran forward, worry filling her heart.
The yellow creature shot a ball of fire, and Gem slid off his back. A huge egg formed in the sky, and Gem hugged the creature.
"Its okay, Gem…"
The rumbling voice made Gem start.
"Who are you, though?"
"Agumon…"
The egg in the sky cracked, and a strange parrot-like creature came out, flying at them.
"Don't fight, Agumon!"
Gem begged, hugging him tight. Agumon shot another large fireball, though it didn't work. The parrot-like creature used a strange electrical attack, hitting the bridge over them, and Agumon shielded the two children. Up in the apartment, Rose tried to see the time, but the clock was going crazy.
Ruby looked up in surprise at the large orange dinosaur with the brown head helmet and dark orange eyes.
"A-Agumon?"
He lifted his head up, shaking it clear of rubble.
"I'm Greymon now…"
He got up, charging at the monster, and they smashed together. But the parrot-like creature hit him hard with the electrical attack, knocking him back into the bridge, out cold.
"Greymon!! Greymon, wake up!!"
Ruby looked at the parrot monster, fear growing in her heart.
"Greymon!!!"
Gem was making a high pitched whine that hurt Ruby's ears.
'It always works on me…'
The high pitched note hurt her ears, but she didn't stop until she ran out of air. Greymon's eyes snapped open, and he stood up, shooting a white-hot fireball that destroyed the monster.
When Ruby opened her eyes, all she saw was Gem screaming
"Greymon!!! Greymon!!! Greymon, come back!!!"
'Where'd he go…Greymon?'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Four years later, and they were heading back to Odaiba, Japan for summer camp. The woman were the only ones who went with them, though Ruby and Gem had to wear bandana's over their wolf ears and hid their tails by tying sweaters around their waists.
The kids were already at the summer camp, Rose beating up a tree stump, Crystal and Anna sitting silently under a tree, Gem looking through the wildflowers, Michael, John, Alice and Cathy playing tag, and Ruby up in a tree, napping.
When snow started to fall, they all looked up at the sky in confusion. The camp counselors told them to go into the cabins, and, once inside, a blizzard blew in. Ruby and Gem always got fidgety in cold weather, and could hardly keep still. About an hour later, when the blizzard died down, they all ran outside, playing in the snow.
When Alice looked up, she was surprised by the bright, dancing lights in the sky.
"Hey, what's that?"
Everyone looked up, and marveled. Before Alice could call her brother, Michael, to get out of his warm bed, a strange thing opened up in the sky, and eight lights appeared.
Gem covered her eyes, and the small lights became small meteors. Ruby, worry and panic gripping her heart, yelled, "GET DOWN!!!" the meteors struck the ground in front of each of them. The snow and dirt filled the air suffocatingly, and, once it cleared, Ruby shook her head, coughing.
"Is everybody okay?"
"Yeah…we're just fine…"
Rose answered, getting up and shaking the snow from her dark hair. Strange rainbow colored bubbles came out of holes in the snow, and everybody grabbed the ones in front of them.
Anna looked at it curiously, like her father probably would, when a strange gateway opened, pulling them away.
They were pulled out of their world…and thrown into another…
