Digimon Generations
Chapter one – Zero Two – The portal opens
Takeru and Hikari stood next to each other, hand in hand. They were nervous ... they had expected this day for a long time but now it was here they didn't know just how to take it.
Tailmon and Patamon were there, but it wasn't enough to calm their nerves.
Takeru swallowed. He knew what to do
"I Do" he said, with all the courage he could muster
"Very well" said the priest "I know pronounce you husband and wife"
Takeru looked towards Hikari, his blushing bride, took her in his arms, and kissed her deeply and passionately.
Daisuke sat at the back. His never knew how he was going to survive this. Since he had first seen Hikari all those years ago, he had been in love. He had tried to make passes on her all the time, as often as he could. He had been so jealous of Takeru back then. No matter what he did it never seemed to change her view. He had been angry before ... but now his view had changed. He sat there contempt that the girl he had loved was finally happy. Being with the one she loved. A tear dropped from his eye.
"Are you alright Daisuke?" asked V-mon, in a concerned tone. Daisuke looked at him, but just smiled and looked back at the couple.
At the front, Taichi and Yamato sat on either aisle, both looking at each other. They were happy in being friends, but now being brother in laws . . . that would take some getting used to.
At the reception, all of the chosen were there except for Mimi. She was still away in America doing goodness knows what.
The only one who wasn't enjoying himself as much was Izumi, who just sat in the corner with his laptop, Iori sitting next to him amazed at the specs of his computer.
Jyou wandered over to him
"what's up Izumi? Why don't you get your head out of the digital clouds and come and enjoy yourself?"
Izumi looked at him "Digital is right. There's something wrong with the digital world. I cant tell what it is, it's too randomly occurring and too small, but it keeps happening, and im sure its not supposed to. The data code is just being modified bit by bit, seemingly to change the foundation of the digital world"
Jyou's eyes began to glaze over. He was good at computing, but when izumi started talking about these things, he could swear he was speaking another language. He just replied "really ... is that so?"
"Yes!" Izumi replied sharply "Although the modifications are small, enough of them can create a big problem, and THAT'S why I'm watching it and not "enjoying" myself as you say"
Jyou sighed, wishing that Izumi would start acting normally, and give the genius act a rest for a day to have fun.
However, Izumi was right ... deep in the digital world, a single leaf turned black, melting into a string of fractal code ... and it started spreading
Izumi had enough "I'm going to check it out. Would you open the portal Iori?"
Iori smiled "Sure, as long as i can come with you". Izumi sighed. Some company would be nice, but Iori wasn't really the best person to go for walks with.
Iori raised his digivice, and they logged into the digital world.
As they explored, they found it almost as they had left it ... except for a couple of small digital glitches. They didn't look that bad, but Izumi had come this far, and so might as well check them just to be on the safe side.
There was something at work reprogramming the very data of the world, but Izumi couldn't tell any more than that. After about an hour, he and Iori decided to log back out. Besides, they wouldn't get anywhere down here, Izumi thought, and it would be easier to see how much of the world had been covered.
They logged out, reappearing in the hall. Iori and Izumi decided to stay by the laptop for the rest of the day. Someone had to watch the computer (and Iori really didn't want to be "in" the party)
The party went on, the Chosen dancing, and their Digimon partners trying and failing (the fact that some of the Digimon were quadrupeds didn't help matters), while Yamato played guitar on the stage. He might have been a superstar, but he wasn't above performing a few songs for his brother's wedding day.
Ken was having a fun time. He stood at the back next to Daisuke
"Yeah, can you believe she's getting married Daisuke?"
"Yeah ... I mean, I always wished it would be to me"
"Well ... I suppose you always have been a dreamer Daisuke"
Ken laughed as Daisuke suddenly realised what he had said. Ken had been teasing him all day and it hadn't gotten any less amusing.
Everything was going peacefully ... but as the clock struck 12...
"Something's happening! Everyone, something's wrong!" Izumi shouted
And as he called, the digivices started buzzing. They were losing connection to the digital world.
They gathered around Izumi's laptop
"The problem has grown! It was just a small error an hour ago and now ... our digital world is losing its form. And ... there's something else. It seems a number of walls have broken down"
Taichi looked curiously "You mean there are a number of portals to the real world?"
"Well that's just the thing" Izumi replied "these portals lead to ... digital worlds. They aren't ours, but they are digital worlds, and they are all facing the same thing"
A feeling of shock went through the chosen
"You mean" said Daisuke, shocked "that ... there are MORE than one digital world?"
Ken stepped forward "I think I knew about it ... when I was the Digimon Kaiser ... but it seemed to have been taken from my mind. I only just now recall it"
Daisuke took his digivice into his hand "Well no matter what's going on, we need to get in there and try to sort it out!"
V-Mon leapt through the crowd and landed right next to him "I'm with you partner!"
The chosen all raised their digivice, but Taichi and Takeru stopped when they noticed the action of a specific chosen at the back.
Hikari just stood there, head down, a tear rolling down her cheek
"Whats wrong hunny?" Takeru asked walking over. Hikari looked up just enough to see him, and ran to him, holding him
"I just ... wanted my wedding day to be one to remember. Is that too much to ask?"
Tailmon looked up to her partner "you know, if you wanted to, we could go and leave you behind. I know you two wanted some time alone anyway"
Takeru smiled and kissed her "you see? Do you want to do that?"
Hikari wiped her eyes "I ... I can't! If I didn't go ... what right do I have to be a chosen"
Tailmon and Takeru stood happily by her side, Takeru with an arm round her back, and Tailmon with a paw round her leg
"We'll protect you, don't worry"
"Okay! Is everybody READY?" Miyako shouted impatiently
They sighed "yes"
"Alright then, Let's go!"
Izumi brought up the Digital port, and the chosen, along with their partners, were transmitted to the digital world.
They arrived to find a ... changed digital world. The code was broken in places, and their digivices called digital ports in areas that hadn't been seen before. Places that shouldn't exist.
Piyomon and Tentomon flew to a branch of a tall tree to look around, and then flew back down
"Its terrible" Piyomon exclaimed "The world is breaking down all around, there isn't any safe place to go. All the Digimon seem to have fled to somewhere else. I can't say where though"
Daisuke looked up ... and stepped back
"Piyomon ... thats not ... exactly true"
A deafening roar came from behind the Digimon, who turned to see this ... abomination of a Digimon.
"VirusTyrannomon" Izumi commented "This is bad, a Tyrannomon that has been corrupted by whatever has been at work on the world"
Daisuke stood forwards "you guys go and find out what's going on, me and Ken will deal with him"
Ken sighed "oh thanks a lot Daisuke"
V-Mon Evolve... XV-Mon!
Ken held up his digivice "your turn Wormmon"
Wormmon Evolve... Stingmon!
Daisuke smirked "and now for the final act"
XV-Mon...
Stingmon...
Jogress evolve!
The two Digimon formed together, combining their energies to become
... Paildramon!
The perfection level Digimon fought with the Virus, throwing as many punches as he could, until finally, it was defeated, but instead of transferring to data like usual, he melted into corruption.
As soon as Paildramon split, Daisuke and Ken turned and ran towards where the others had gone
"I don't know what's going on here, but I know that we've got to sort it out."
