Chapter 1: A New Beginning
Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon, but the human characters I do own.
(Author's Note: I know most Digimon fanfics usually involve characters from the separate seasons, along with an OC occasionally. Other times when an original fanfic I written, the setting is in Japan, so I decided to do something different. I don't have anything against other fanfics; I've seen some really great fanfics. Now onto the story…)
"Where am I?" a teenager around the age of seventeen spun his head around in different directions, everywhere he looked he saw nothing, but miles of forest. The teen had black wavy hair going in different directions, dark brown eyes, and a fit athletic build, "Ugh this will be the last time Daniel Jones drinks day old milk before bed."
It was then that Daniel realized he was lying on the ground of the forest floor so he got up and walked down the foliage, brushing vines and branches out of his way. He walked for a few minutes until he reached a lake in the middle of the forest.
"Man I feel so tired and I don't know where I am, mom is going to kill me once I get back home." Daniel said to himself as he kneeled down and splashed some water on his face. A low growl rang from behind him, causing the teenager to jump and fall into the lake. This time a roar that sounded similar to a dinosaur's rang out. Daniel's eyes widened as he saw a huge gorilla like creature jump out of nowhere, pounding its chest.
"When did gorillas get so big and have huge cannons for an arm?" Daniel asked himself then the dinosaur roar rang again as a yellow dinosaur like creature with blue stripes on its body and three horns on its head came out charging through a group of short trees. The two creatures stared at each other then started to circle, neither of them dropping eye contact. The gorilla was the first to attack.
"Energy Cannon!" The gorilla creature aimed its cannon at the dinosaur and fired. Multiple energy shots collided with the dinosaur creature as it stared to stagger from being hit by the gorilla creature's attacks. The gorilla creature charged forward and became locked in melee combat, multiple blows came between the creatures. The dinosaur creature bit down on the gorilla creature's left arm, drawing blood.
"Wait a minute, that's not blood." Daniel gasped as he saw red floating particles come out of the wounds the dinosaur creature made on his foe. The dinosaur got under the gorilla creature and using its powerful head knocked it into the sky.
"Nova Blast!" the dinosaur creature shouted as a huge fireball shot out of its mouth and collided with the gorilla creature destroying it immediately.
"That was cool." Daniel exclaimed. Then the dinosaur creature turned to face Daniel, "Oh man now it's probably going to do the same to me as it did to that gorilla thing.
"Daniel… it's time to wake up." The dinosaur creature said.
"Huh?"
"Wake up Daniel!" the dinosaur creature repeated.
"Daniel, you need to wake up!" a female voice rang.
"Hugh I'm up, ahhh!" Daniel stirred awake and fell out of his bed, he looked up and saw that his mother was staring down back at him. She had long brown hair going down the back of her slender form. Her piercing brown eyes staring back at the teenager. She wore a pink shirt with brown khaki pants with black sandals.
"Honestly Daniel, you need to stop watching those horror movies before going to bed. I swear it's those friends you have at school that are doing this to you." His mother stated as she made to leave the room, "Hurry and get ready or you'll be late for school."
"Oh alright." Daniel got up and made to take a quick shower. After taking a shower, Daniel decided to put on some blue jeans, nice brown casual shoes, a green t-shirt, and a white/green striped unbuttoned dress up shirt over it. He stared at the school calendar and groaned, "Only seven more months at Bayside High School."
(AN: Bayside High School is in Bayside, an area in Queens, New York)
"Hey Daniel, what's going on?" Daniel's best and childhood friend Tyler Richardson walked up to him in one of the hallways of Bayside High. Tyler was an African American teenager who was known as one of the popular jocks in the school. Today Tyler's clothes were a white t-shirt, a red jersey over it and blue jeans with white sneakers. Now while Tyler was popular in sports, Daniel was very good in the school's Academy of Music program, and plus hanging out with Tyler made him kind of popular as well.
"Man I had a weird dream." Daniel said as he dug through his junk filled locker which was filled textbooks, notebooks, compact discs, etc.
"About what? A girl?" Tyler laughed.
"Be serious." Daniel scolded Tyler.
"Ok ok, so what was it really about?" Tyler asked.
"I dreamt I was in this forest, I wandered to this lake to get a breather and all of a sudden this giant gorilla creature with a cannon for a right arm and this dinosaur creature that can shoot fireballs started to fight each other. I know it was a dream, but it seemed so real." Daniel explained.
"Dude I had something similar, I dreamt of this huge mammoth thing that shot missiles out of its tusks and it was fighting this giant well I don't know what it was but it looked like a hydra. You know multiple snake heads on it, and it breathed fire." Tyler exclaimed.
"Really?" Daniel asked hoping he wasn't the only who had this dream.
"Nah, I'm just messing with you." Tyler started to laugh.
"You can be a big jerk." Daniel punched Tyler's arm.
"Yeah well I try my best." Tyler stopped laughing as the two friends walked to their first class. Unknown to Daniel, is that Tyler's dream actually did happen.
In Central Park, a retired old man sat near the edge of the lake as he sighed and threw a rock into it, a few seconds later the rock came flying back out almost hitting the man.
"Now what was that?" the old man asked himself as he got up and stared at the water. He grabbed another rock and threw it into the lake. The water where the rock was thrown in started to bubble and fog up, a few seconds later a huge sea dragon creature flung it's long slender snakelike body out of the lake, it stared coldly at the old man that disturbed its slumber, "Nice sea dragon, nice sea dragon." The old man started to back up slowly from the lake. The sea dragon reared its head backwards then shot forward with its mouth open releasing a freezing cold beam of ice. The old man soon became a human popsicle. The sea dragon gave a roar and it went back under the lake
"Man I can't believe Mr. Ferguson can give a more boring lecture on the mole." Tyler yawned as Daniel and he walked out of their chemistry class.
"Yeah I know what you mean? Huh…" Daniel stopped to look outside one of the school's side entrance doors.
"What's wrong?" Tyler asked.
"I thought I saw… never mind." Daniel stated then he started to walk to the cafeteria with Tyler in tow. The two friends made their way into the cafeteria; Daniel got a cheeseburger, fries, and root beer while Tyler got a club sandwich and an energy drink.
"So you know the one thing coming up?" Tyler asked.
"The homecoming dance, what about it?" Daniel asked between bites from his burger.
"Are you going?"
"What? Come on Tyler, I didn't go last year so what makes this year any different?"
"I don't know, I'm just asking." Tyler sighed as he turned to finish off his energy drink. Daniel sighed as well as he got and put away his tray.
Later at home, Daniel's mother at gone to do some grocery shopping leaving the teenager alone at home. Daniel decided to watch television, but seeing as their was nothing good on and the local news had been talking about mysterious events plaguing the city like power shortages, the teenager decided to take a nap.
This time Daniel found himself back at Bayside High School at the football field, but something wasn't different about it, everything was covered with fog and the air was really warm. He looked to his left and saw a Pegasus creature walking forward, and to his right he saw a giant Doberman Pincher, but what was that next to it?
"Is that Tyler?" Daniel asked as he saw Tyler walk forward next to the Doberman creature.
"Dobermon you ready?" Tyler asked the creature which gave a growl as a response. Tyler then turned to look at a watch like contraption on his wrist, he pressed a button and a three dimensional holographic view of the Pegasus creature was displayed, "Pegasusmon, armor digimon, special attacks: Equus Beam and Star Shower."
The Pegasusmon took to the air, "Star Shower!" It shouted as it flapped its wings and multiple stars came flying at the Dobermon. Dobermon jumped out of the way as the stars hit the green turf of the football field.
"Grau Realm!" Dobermon roared as a dark energy blast emanated from his mouth and flew towards the Pegasusmon knocking it down to the ground.
"You got it Dobermon, now finish it." Tyler shouted as the digimon walked towards the fallen Pegasusmon. Just as Dobermon was about to unleash another energy blast to finish the armor digimon off, the Pegasusmon had a trick up its sleeve.
"Equus Beam!" a green energy beam shot from the Pegasusmon's forehead and right into the chest area of Dobermon, sending it back into the bench where football players sit on waiting their turn to be put into the game, breaking the bench. Dobermon got up and shook off the pieces of the broken bench. He stared at his foe and then started to charge at it, the Pegasusmon did the same. The two digimon leapt into the air at the same time, a slashing sound was heard as the two crossed. Dobermon and Pegasusmon landed on the ground perfectly, it seemed like neither would move or falter towards each other, until the Pegasusmon moved forward a little like it tripped then fell to its side and dissolved into the same red particles that Daniel saw in his other dream. Tyler turned to face Daniel; he smiled and gave a wave…
"Ugh." Daniel woke up as he stirred to stay awake after his nap. There was a knocking on his door, being the gentleman he was he went to answer it.
"Daniel, how's it going man?" Tyler was standing at the door.
"Tyler, what the hell man?" was all that could Daniel could say.
"What?"
"What was that at school?"
"What are you talking about Dan?" Tyler asked.
"I saw you, you and some Doberman creature you called Dobermon. What's a Dobermon, what's a Pegasusmon? What's a Digimon?" Daniel asked multiple questions.
"What are you talking about?"
"You were back at school in the football field, you had this thing with you, and you called it Dobermon, what was that thing?"
"Daniel, calm down I went home remember, I don't go back to school unless it's something important, and right now I have nothing important to do." Tyler stated, "It must have been someone else, because I am confused on the point you're trying to get across. I don't even know what a Dobermon is, is that even a word? You probably drank some day old milk, went to take a nap, and had a bad dream."
"Yeah I guess you're right, sorry." Daniel apologized.
"Aren't I always right?" Tyler smirked and held out his hand, "Its ok, best buds for life?"
"You know it, best buds for life." Daniel smiled and shook Tyler's hand.
"Anyways some guys are having a party at some house, I came by to see if you wanted to come?" Tyler asked.
"Sure, let me grab some things." Daniel went to his room to grab a couple things like his wallet, cell phone, and watch, "Wait a minute I don't own a watch." Daniel stared at the watch and then his eyes widened when he realized it was the same watch thing Tyler had on in his dream, "Well this is new." Daniel stated as he put the watch on.
Daniel sat on the couch laying next to a wall as he watched other people from school partying, drinking, dancing, smoking, and all the other stuff that happened at parties. To his left he saw a blonde girl he knew who was a cheerleader at his school making out with a jock who was obviously her boyfriend. He scowled and made to get up and leave the party. He didn't bother to tell Tyler he was leaving as he was too busy with his jock buddies. Though Daniel was used to the Bayside neighborhood, he never liked walking outside at night for some reason. It was then the watch gadget started to beep.
"Huh what's going on?" Daniel stared at the gadget wondering what was wrong with it. A holographic arrow appeared in midair and pointed towards a nearby public basketball course, "What's over there?" Daniel walked into the basketball court, in the middle of it was one single basketball and it was glowing. He looked at the watch gadget and the holographic arrow was pointing right at the basketball. Daniel reached out with his hand to touch the ball, but retracted for a second, "Oh what the heck?" He moved his hand back forward and touched the basketball. Red electricity sparked between Daniel's hand and the basketball, the ball started to glow real bright and then changed it's shape and form into that of small raptor creature (Guilmon's my favorite rookie from the series so I'm giving Daniel Guilmon). The red raptor creature stared at Daniel and then stood up, "Please don't eat me, I don't taste good. I'll do anything, I promise. I'll give you baths, feed you, do your laundry." Daniel started to back up as the creature was walking up to him.
"Why would I eat you?" the creature asked.
"Huh, you talk?" Daniel stared.
"Yeah of course, don't all Digimon talk?"
"Digimon… wait you're a Digimon? What's a Digimon?" Daniel asked.
"Yeah I'm a Digimon, my name is Guilmon. Digimon stands for Digital Monsters." Guilmon stated.
"Digital Monsters? What do you mean digital?"
"Well I'm from the Digital World, and I must say it's much different from this world. Now why would I eat you?" Guilmon asked again.
"Well I figured you would."
"I wouldn't eat you, especially since you're my partner."
"I'm your partner?" Daniel pointed to himself.
"Of course Daniel." Guilmon stated.
"You know my name?"
"Of course, what kind of Digimon wouldn't know his or her own partner's name?" Guilmon then laughed.
"I see your point, come on I got to get you out of here before anyone asks anything suspicious." Daniel led Guilmon back to his home. 'Daniel, had to work late tonight, I left some chicken in the fridge, love mom.' A note left by Daniel's mother was taped onto the front door of the house.
"Oh man this stuff is good." Guilmon stated as he finished eating his third chicken leg."
"You don't get this stuff in your world?" Daniel asked.
"Not really, us Digimon have to hunt and forage for food, you have it easy here."
"I guess." Daniel had finished eating a chicken leg as well, "Well I better find a place for you to stay…" Daniel turned and saw that Guilmon was asleep, "Great here I am talking to myself while dragging Guilmon to safe secret spot." Daniel went to the backyard and searched for available spots for him to sleep, "Let's see the dog house, yeah right mom could see if someone was in the dog house in an instant. Hmm the rosebud bushes? No way, mom loves those things; she'll kill anyone who messes with those. The tool shed, mom hardly goes into there ever since dad left, and it's perfect." Daniel opened the door to the tool shed and placed Guilmon inside of it.
"Goodnight." Guilmon said in his sleep.
"Goodnight Guilmon." Daniel shut the tool shed door and went up to his own bedroom to get some sleep.
