Prologue
In a random part of the digital world
"Leave me alone!"A boy with raven hair with his clothes destroyed yelled hiding from an angry Tyrannomon.
"PREPARE TO DIE YOU STUPID HUMAN!"
"I don't want to hurt you!"
"How could a human like you hurt me?"The Tyrannomon found and hit the boy into a rock. Then he towered over the injured boy's body.
"I warned you..."He stood up and looked at Tyrannomon before lifting up a silver and black lock with an orange designed on it.
"What are you?"Tyrannomon staggered back as the lock was unlocked making a circular zipper open up for an orange to appear from it.
"I'm not going to repeat myself."
ORANGE!
"Stay away."The boy put on a strange device resembling a belt with a knife on it making a gold strap wrap around his waist leaving the belt there. A design with what looked like a samurai appeared on the left of it.
"I warned you half an hour ago."Setting the lock on the belt he pushed the shackle down,locking the lock onto the belt.
LOCK ON!
"Sorry for what's about to happen...Henshin."Grabbing the knife on the belt,he pushed it down making the front of the lock go down showing the inside of an orange on top and a sword resembling an orange slice on the bottom.
SOIYA!
"Kari can you stop with the homework so we can go for a bike ride?"Gatomon asked jumping next to Kari who sat on her bed working on her pink Laptop.
"Sorry Gatomon I'm trying to understand what this picture shows."Kari moved her laptop to the side to show Gatomon what looked like a blue and gold samurai fighting a red and silver knight with a girl with flowing blonde hair looking at the fight. On top of the picture were strange symbols that Gatomon mumbled reading."What?"
"On the day of the fated battle,two sides will fight for the golden fruit. This shows of a fight that will or did happen with two sides fighting over a fruit. Haven't they ever heard of a store?"
"I'm sorry."The boy said as small pieces of data went into the sky. Walking through a forest,the boy stopped to sit down and look at the lock in his hand."I'm a monster. No wonder my friends didn't care about me."
'I'm a monster. No wonder my friends didn't care about me.'The boy's voice was in Kari's head as she was in the middle of a bike ride with Gatomon making her stop and look around.
"Odd."
"What is?"Kari looked around trying to see if she could find the cause of the voice in her head.
"I thought I heard a voice Gatomon. It sounds really sad."
"Kari did you go into my catnip?"
"I'm serious Gatomon. Could it be the Dark Ocean?"
"No way."
"We should go to the Digital World and check to make sure nothing bad is happening."
"See Kari like I said,nothing bad is happening."Gatomon was walking next to Kari as they walked through a field.
"Or is it?"Kari noticed the boy unconscious in front of them and helped him up.
"Huh?"The boy sat up holding his head to find himself on a park bench while Kari and Gatomon talked not that far from him.
"...Kari finding a boy in the middle of nowhere is strange enough. But bringing him here is insane!"
"He's hurt and he doesn't even look like much of a threat anyways."
"Um excuse me. Where am I?"Kari and Gatomon stopped talking right before Gatomon snapped at Kari to see the boy looking at them.
"See,he probably has amnesia."
"I don't have amnesia and can you please answer my question."
"You really have no idea?"
"Miss if I did,would I be here asking you?"Kari blushed at him calling her 'Miss'.
"What are you? You don't seem like a Digimon."
"Digi-what?"
"He's not joking. He actually doesn't know."She noticed his serious face and knew he wasn't playing around.
"I see. He's here..."A man in a dark cloak smiled before pulling out 7 different locks resembling the boy's with different fruits on them before letting go and dropping them making 7 zippers appear and open.
"Can you tell me your name please?"
"Kouta,just call me Kouta."Kouta answered Kari's question before the three of them saw people running away.
"What's happening? I'm Kari by the way,this is Gatomon."
"Inves."
"What?"Gatomon gave him a weird look before they saw strange looking creatures with one resembling a dragon leading them towards the three.
"Inves,the creatures that live in Helheim Forest. They're nothing but power hungry monsters."
"Gatomon get ready to-"Kari was interrupted by Kouta pulling out his belt and putting it on.
SENGOKU DRIVER!
"Kari please stay back. And if you leave I understand. I'm a monster anyways."Kouta pulled out his lock before putting it on the Belt.
ORANGE!
LOCK ON!
"What's happening?"Gatomon watched in awe and in confusion as an orange appeared above Kouta while the boy reached for the blade.
"Henshin."He pushed the blade down making it open up and the orange go on top of Kouta's head making blue armor with gold accents form on the rest of his body.
SOIYA!
ORANGE ARMS! HANAMICHI ON STAGE!
"Kouta?"Kari asked as the Orange opened up and turned into armor to finish it off while a blue helmet with one of the symbols on it's forehead was on Kouta's head with an orange visor.
"That symbol...Gaim."
"Stay back."Gaim ordered before charging at the Inves. An Inves charged as well before Gaim reached to his right and pulled out a Katana with a pull back gun hammer on the back and the barrel in front and sliced it in half."Who's next?"Gaim asked before two more charged only for him to pull out a sword like the one on the bottom of the lock and slice those two only for more to follow and suffer the same demise leaving Gaim and the dragon looking Inves.
"Let me fight Kari."Gatomon couldn't even get through to Kari who seemed to be in some sort of trance watching Gaim fight.
"Time to end this quickly."Gaim pushed the blade down three times for his foot to be covered in orange light.
ORANGE SPARKING!
"SEIYHA!"Gaim jumped up and kicked the Inves in the chest sending it back destroying it."Weak Inves. Something's up."
"So in your world...there are people just like you who fight Inves?"
"That's right."Kouta replied Gatomon's question sitting on a jungle gym.
"And to become Gaim you use a Sengoku Driver and a Lockseed?"
"So is that."
"But why were you in the Digital World?"
"Long story."
"I've got the time."
"I was walking through Helheim,the world that the Inves call home and where Armored Riders get their lockseeds,and there I saw a vortex. I had no Idea what it was and I was prepared to fight what came out,but nothing came out,all of Helheim was being sucked in. I jumped in thinking that I could stop what was going on. I was too late,Helheim had already been sent here and it's being fused with the world you were talking about."
"That explains it."Kari sat down confusing the boy behind her.
"What?"
"Well you see what happened was that we went to the Digital World and there we saw strange vines and we saw a Digimon become an Inves."
"Oh no."
"Kouta why were you so depressed anyways?"
"Do you really want to know?"
"Yes."Kari climbed up and sat next to Kouta with Gatomon right behind them.
"My friends,the only people that ever cared about me treated me like garbage. It was my birthday and I went to go meet up with my friend so we could race on our Motorbikes. When I got there,all my friends were there talking to him and when I tried to say Hi they wouldn't even look at me. When I tried to talk to my Best Friend,his friend pushed me out of the way and they just laughed at me when I fell into a puddle. I went to Helheim to try to see if fighting Inves would calm me down."Kouta looked down and before Kari could try to cheer him up,her phone went off.
"Hello? T.K what happened? Oh my god!"
"What happened Kari?"Gatomon was just as curious as Kouta.
"T.K was attacked."
"Is he alright?"
"Yeah but his arm is broken. I'll be right there."
"Broken arm? What happened?"
"He said that all he saw were vines and and all of a sudden a black and purple apple."
"An Apple?! Oh no."Kouta jumped off the Jungle gym and helped Kari down.
"What's going on Kouta?"
"I need to go see an old friend."Kouta grabbed a bulky lockseed and unlocked it making it turn into a flying motorcycle like vehicle."Go to your boyfriend,I have someone to stop."
"Hey! I KNOW YOU'RE HERE!"Kouta was yelling on top of a roof looking for someone."Why target one of Kari's friends? Unless he's going to finish the job."Kouta jumped back on the lock vehicle and rode off in the direction Kari went.
"What do you want?"T.K was trembling as a boy wearing red and silver clothes walked towards him and Kari. The boy took out a Sengoku driver and a black and purple Apple Lockseed and put them on.
LOCK ON!
"KARI WATCH OUT!"Kari ducked as Kouta jumped from behind her into the boy."Stop with the disguises Kougane."
"Kouta you're here,did you enjoy my presents?"
"No wonder, a weak willed person sent weak Inves."
"Kari what's going on?"T.K was filled in with a quick summary of Kouta."Oh."
"Kougane what is it you want?"
"Other than world domination and your death?"
"Yeah other than that."
"This world has it's own Golden Fruit,one to be stronger than the one I wanted back at yours."Kougane was enveloped in purple fire as Kouta stepped back helping T.K and Kari start to leave."PREPARE TO DIE KOUTA!"A monster resembling a horse made of fire appeared in Kougane's place.
"Run!"Kouta,Kari,and T.K ran as Kougane was chasing them.
"We need some back up! Something the size of Canada please!"Kouta yelled before a familiar dragon like Digimon appeared hitting Kougane.
"Imperialdramon!"T.K laughed before Kougane shot Imperialdramon with fire turning him back to Leafmon and Chibomon and sent Davis and Ken to the floor.
"Hey are you two alright?"
"Yeah."Davis rubbed the back of his head as Kougane towered over them.
"Come on..."Kouta whispered before Kougane yelled in pain."Alright! Henshin!"
SOIYA!
ORANGE ARMS! HANAMICHI ON STAGE!
"Kouta why is Kougane in pain?"Kari asked before Kouta's lock vehicle crashed in front of them.
"I set my Dandeliner to come to me and to fire at will."
"YOU!"Kougane tried to crush Gaim under his foot but he managed to slide under and slash his legs making the creature made of fire roar in pain.
"Take off and lock on."Gaim unlocked his Orange lockseed from his Sengoku driver and set it on a spot for it on his Musou Sabre.
LOCK OFF!
LOCK ON!
10,100,1000!
ORANGE CHARGE!
"COME OUT YOU COWA-ARGH!"Kouta pulled the hammer of his Musou Sabre back loading the Musou Sabre with ammo. He began to shoot Kougane's underbelly before going behind Kougane and continued shooting from there."YOU LITTLE RAT!"Gaim unlocked and removed his lockseed putting it back on his driver. He then pushed the knife down twice after connecting his swords together.
ORANGE AU LAIT!
"NO!"Kougane roared as Gaim spun his Ningata made of his swords and slashed him in an X like shape destroying Kougane.
"This is Helheim?"Kari asked as she,Kouta,T.K,Davis,and Ken stood in what used to be the Digital World but it was now dense jungle with strange fruits on the trees.
"Yes,I'm so sorry you guys."
"Sorry for what? You said it yourself,it was already coming here when you were in the forest."
"Yeah but-"
"Kouta we need you as much as the Digital World needs us. But how do we fight Inves? If something like Kougane could take out Imperialdramon,we need more of you."
"We need Sengoku Drivers then. But the dealer only gave 7 away and either way he's dead in my world."
"Then we'll build them then."
"Do you have a technological genius?"
"Yeah,we have an Izzy."
"Do you think he'll be able to build enough of these?"Kouta asked Davis who shrugged.
"Hey. David doesn't think of anything."T.K made Kari,Ken,and Kouta laugh at his comment.
"Either way we have enough fruits here to get plenty of lockseeds."
"But that means all the Digimon in the Human World are the last Digimon."Ken said as all the Digimon that were supposed to be in front of them were Inves.
"I promise you guys,I'll cure this place and turn them all back."Kouta said making Kari reach for his hand.
"Ow,something bit me."Ken slapped the back of his neck as they began to leave. What fell behind him was a Locust emanating a purple aura,so was the bite it left him. And unheard to everybody but Ken,was Kougane's maniacal laugh.
