Hi everyone this is my second attempt at writing down a story my first one was written really badly and in a very slow rate so I disbanded it I might rework on it again in the future but I still don't know when.

Please note that this is an AU meaning that some certain characters might act differently than in the canon (this mainly goes for the sovereigns here as you will find them to be less compassionate, cruel and somewhat evil then the way they were portrayed in the series or in others fictions)

I hope you will enjoy reading this story and don't be afraid to point out my mistakes. As for couples I haven't decided anything yet. I should also note that romance isn't my strong side I writing down stories so don't except much. So without further ado here it is:

Digimon Tamers-Hazard of Conspiracy

Unknown POV

In a far away world, parallel to our own is a mysterious and extraordinary place called the digital world. It isn't as big as our own real world, but it is always expanding, growing at a fast rate in the expense of our own-the real world.

There are so many differences between the two worlds. However, the real world and the digital one also have similarities. For example both worlds are divided to certain areas. Unlike the real world which is divided to countries and continents the digital world is divided into quadrants and levels each having its own unique rules and special designs.

The four sovereigns Baihumon, Azulongmon, Ebonwumon and Zhuqiaomon rule the digital world together since its very creation. Each one of them is controlling a different quarter of the digital world. The inhabitants of the digital world, creatures known as digimon or otherwise digital monsters had always regarded these four as gods and lords of their world. It is unclear if the four were actually gods or if they actually did a proper job in ruling the land though one thing was certain, no one should ever evoke their wrath, for they are the most powerful of all the creatures in the digital world.

Well that is what everyone thought until the rumors about a certain group managing to not only anger one of the sovereigns but to also get away with it almost unharmed. More surprisingly was the fact that half of the group consisted of humans a race which had never set foot in the digital world and thus digimon regarded them as a myth.

The human race existence was always put to doubts but some digimon consisted that humans lived far away in another parallel world. They always claim that the humans who live in the real world resided in the big orb in the sky. The orb could always be seen in the sky from any place or site in the digital world, both in day and night. It is said that only through certain portals one can manage to get to the human world.

Although it was never proofed that the portals connected the two worlds and that they were very rare made these stories about the arriving to the human world a possible myth. However the portals were very unreliable, no one knew where it can actually lead you to. Any digimon that entered these portals was never seen again. There were even some ridicules rumors about this, saying that these so-called portals are actually black holes that will kill anyone who is foolish enough to enter. That is why no digimon in the digital world have ever managed to confirm that humans exist.

With that said I think it's enough talk about the digital world, heh... I can go on and on forever trying to describe it and the many other things the digital world has that our world doesn't. Truth of the matter is you won't be able to fully understand it unless you were actually there but it is at least vital you understand these few facts about the digital world as they are important to understand the adventure that we had there.

Digital world, South quadrant, Sovereign palace gates

Running that is what they were doing. Fifteen in total: eight digimon and seven human children. Running away as fast as possible, their lives were depending on it and for a good reason too. Behind them, a giant oversized red and yellow flaming bird was chasing them. It had four red crimson eyes as well as a large and very long beak and an extra six wings to the other two the huge bird had-two of them were tiny wings located in his stomach while the other four were located on his back. The extraordinary huge bird like creature emitted a red fiery like aura which could reduce anyone near it to ashes by simply touching it. This creature was without doubt angry as it screamed and shrieked in rage when it came after the group, pursuing them with intent to slay them without mercy which was quite visible in his now red flaming crimson eyes. This creature was truly a magnificent yet also terrifying sight to look upon when he was enraged.

"You miserable filthy little abominations! Bring me back that which you have stolen from my castle this instant!" it screamed in pure fury. The creature was none other than the digital sovereign Zhuqiaomon-ruler of the southern quarter of the digital world.

Zhaqiaomon, like many others, hated the unknown and foreign. He couldn't accept the human race in the same kindness that some other digimon would had probably shown them. He loathed changes and new things. His view on the matter was simple: that these human abominations in front of him not only managed to threaten his supreme rule but to also "befriend" digimon. By befriending it simply means making them their slaves and pets. He couldn't help but feel disgust towards them all, which is why they must be punished before their "infection" will spread; he couldn't let this insolence go any further. He will kill the lot of them, he must. For the sake of himself and his three brothers he will kill them all. This was Zhaqiamon view over how he should deal with these humans and no one could ever convince this stubborn sovereign from changing his mind.

"Phoenix fire" he said unleashing some fireballs towards the group in hopes of roasting them alive while chasing them. He knew they would probably escape his attack due to the distance between them, yet he still continued on doing so, why? He didn't know maybe it was because loved to hear the screams of fear especially those that these human children made.

What's the name of this group you wonder? Why it's none other than the digimon Tamers. A very ridicules name in Zhuqiaomon's opinion, which is why he simply named the group abominations, a name far more fitting in his point of view.

None the less the group were persistent on staying alive as they were trying the best they can to avoid the bird's wrath of rage. It suddenly dawned to the sovereign that they weren't just running in some random direction, they actually knew where they were going! Up there in the distance a data stream was heading towards the Tamers, and they are heading straight to it. 'It can't be! A data stream here in my very entrance to the castle. This is more than just luck or coincidence' Zhuqiaomon thought to himself.

They were planning to leave the borders of his domain, if that happens he won't be able to chase them any further. Not without gaining permission from his brothers that is. Gaining permission from them would be a real pain for him. Whenever the sovereigns had to ask for favors from one another things never went well. Even though they were brothers they hated each other deeply each having their own reasons to do so. However in this case maybe they will have a mutual agreement that they should all take action in this.

Grunting Zhaqiaomon stopped his chase he maybe hotheaded at times but he knew also when to give up on his prey. He will get these so-called Tamers in the future he will be sure of that. For now he must call for his brothers aid. He must call upon a meeting to discuss the matter at hand.

Digital world, Unknown quadrant, Unknown area

"Phew that was a close call… is everyone alright?" asked the leader of the group as he began to stand up. Apparently the trip through this data stream made them all exhausted. Well data streams are always known to be exhausting but this time it was more than usual.

The boy was lightly tanned skinned with brown messy hair and oddly crimson red and slightly brown eyes. The boy wore a blue hooded T-shirt and long khaki shorts. What made him strange in appearance were the yellow goggles he wore on his head. The boy never took them off ever since he met his partner Guilmon and the group began to grow accustomed to this strange accessory the boy wore (there was always the exception of when he took them of when he was in school or taking a shower).

"I think so Takato" replied another boy who stood nearby as he began to count that everyone were there. The boy had blue hair wearing brown pant and an orange jacket over a black T-shirt. The name of the boy was Henry and he was the partner of a digimon called Terriermon. Henry sighed in relief and smiled after noticing everyone was there "Looks like we are finally safe and home at last"

"ahem" cough his partner trying to get everyone's attention" I don't want to disappoint you Henry but this doesn't look like home to me at all" said his little dog rabbit partner. Sadly to everyone's shock they found out that Terriermon was indeed right. They were still stuck in the digital world.

Takato slowly began to observe his surroundings. It seems they were on top of a mountain or something like that. There were many rocks of different colors and shapes nearby that the boy had never seen before. Terriermon was right they were in the digital world indeed.

He walked over to edge trying to see if there is something he might recognize. Sadly that wasn't the case. Nothing seemed familiar to him. It then occurred to him that the digital world was larger than they thought and that they only saw a portion of it. He looked closely still trying to find anything useful. Everywhere he looked below, he only saw tall dark trees. They were obviously in a huge forest and the mountain was its center but that's all he could make out of it. Just when he thought he saw something in the distance of the forest someone cut him off of his thoughts.

"I knew we shouldn't trust this Yamaki in the first place! Ever since we met him he had always managed to screw things up" came the voice of a girl with red hair tied in a ponytail. The girl wore a turquoise-white T-shirt with a broken heart on the front, with short blue jeans and buckles around her waist. It was clear she was angry but then again it was always easy to make her angry to begin with.

"Calm down Rika I am sure there is an explanation to this" Her partner Renamon spoke out in her usual serious tone while secretly finding Rika's behavior slightly amusing.

"Oh and there better be a good one to that" Rika smirked while turning around to face Takato shouting and startling him from the edge of the cliff. She tried not to laugh at the odd movements the boy made while turning around to face her. For some reason she always enjoyed seeing him becoming scared of her even though it was thanks to him and Henry that showed her how to open up.

"Hey Gogglehead does Blondy there have a good excuse to what happened? Cause if not he better have a backup plan to get us home" she said while showing her fists. Even if it wasn't always visible she was extremely grateful to both Takato and Henry for breaking out her "icy" attitude. Secretly, she regarded them as her best friends because of that. Why secret you say? Because showing of her emotions was still something she wasn't very good at and she felt embarrassed to express them towards the two boys.

"uhmm…" Takato's dump reply came as he was taking out the communication device Yamaki gave them.

"Well Gogglehead?!" Rika yelled the nickname she had given Takato while slowly approaching him, clearly impatient. Her act worked like a charm as Takato quickly replayed slightly whimpering in fear "s…sss… sorry Rika it just went dead I can't even turn it on"

"Just great now I am stuck here for who knows how long with the dump twins over there" she said as she pointed her finger away from Takato and Henry direction and towards the two mentioned "twins" and their digimon partners.

"HEY" came the usual reply from the two behind Rika.

"It's not like we are thrilled to have you here with us as well" added the boy who had a visor on his head.

"Am I right Kenta?" the boy asked his friend who stood near him while both nodding their heads a few times in agreement. Rika simply rolled her eyes in her opinion Kazu and his spectacle friend Kenta were nothing more than idiots. She just couldn't stand being around them even though both had digimon partners as well as her.

"Guys that's enough, we already have enough problems without fighting with each other" intervened Takato gesturing them to stop with his hands.

Takato was tensed as the three just kept staring at him. No doubt intervening in their fight was a stupid thing to do right now. Nevertheless, to Takato's relief, Rika rolled her eyes again while the other two boys simply crossing their arms looking the other way around immaturely. The red-head then sighed and in a very rare manner mumbled something like: "fine I am sorry". The two boys nodded mumbling something similar silently.

Takato sighed slightly smirking, that was the closest thing to a truce that could be formed between the three for the moment.

"I don't want to be rude but what is our next step now?" Jeri Katou's shy voice came from behind. Like the rest of the group she was also a tamer. She had a long brown hair and matching brown eyes. She also wore a green dress over a yellow shirt and occasionally could be seen with a yellow sock puppet on her hand although now it was hidden from sight in the red bag she was carrying.

Unlike Henry, Rika and Takato she got her partner Leomon only recently making her Kazu, Kenta and Henry's sister Suzie inexperienced at being tamers. Nevertheless out of the four she showed a great potential at becoming a good tamer. A good example to this was her and Leomon teamwork that managed to defeat Orochimon who was a ruthless and very strong digimon.

There was an odd silence afterwards. Jeri had a very good point now that they managed to get their friend, Calumon, back they had nothing more to do then wandering aimlessly in the digital world while staying out of trouble. That is until Yamaki find a way to get them back home of course.

After some thinking Henry finally spoke out his mind, as everyone listening intensively to him. Out of the entire group he was the smartest one among them earning him the nickname "Brainiac" from Rika.

"Whatever it is we are going to do we must get out of this place. We shouldn't stay at the same place for too long. Especially now that we got Zhuqiaomon on our tails"

"Momentai Henry, I bet that giant chicken can't even find us and even if he did we will beat him again like last time" spoke Terriermon while climbing on top of his tamer's head.

"You should never underestimate our lord Zhuqiaomon's power" a digimon who looked identical to Terriermon in shape voiced out her opinion. The main difference between her and Terriermon was the amount of horns on her head and the color of her skin (Lopmon has three horns on her forehead and her skin color is brown and pink, while Terriermon got only one horn and had green and white as his skin colors).

Lopmon simply sighed before continuing "There is no doubt that if he finds out he will unleash his full power on us…" she suddenly went silent. Her partner Suzie was present there as well. She was the youngest of them and she didn't want her scared so she didn't add more to complete her explanation, but at least the message sinked in.

The tamers seemed to frown at Lopmon's words but there was no reason for her lie. After all she betrayed the sovereigns and became the partner of Henry's little sister, Suzie Wong. If there was someone in their group who knew the most about the sovereigns' power and influence it would be her.

"What?! No way he used everything he had at his disposal and failed to get us" Terriermon protested and was failing to believe her since the battle against Zhuqiaomon took allot out of him.

"It doesn't matter now. We should stay alert for anything dangerous just like before when we first arrived here" said Leomon towering above his tamer crossing his arms.

Takato couldn't agree more with the overprotective partner of Jeri "So any ideas where we should go to?"

Lopmon was about to protest and explain to them that Zhuqiaomon is more than what he seems, but then came Suzie… "Don't worry Lopmon as long as your with me will be just fine" she smiled while squeezing the life out of her partner. Terriermon shivered at the sight of the two. He could feel sympathy for Lopmon. Before they met her he got the same horrifying and various treatments from Suzie.

"If I may suggest…" Renamon spoke closing her eyes "we should go west of here there is a friendly, little digimon town not far hidden here".

"Wait a minute you know where we are?" said Rika a bit shocked.

"Why yes, I have wandered the digital world for a long time before I met you" Renamon said giving a slightly quick smile to Rika, the rest didn't seem to even notice that though. "Anyways, we should get going before it will get dark I will explain where we are on the way there"

There you have it first chapter done took me a while to think of the plot it is still not fully established but this story will not be updated at a very slow rate like my first one. By the way a few notes about this story:

1. As you may have noticed Leomon is alive(yay to that his death really was too much to poor Jeri in my opinion)

2. Beelzemon/Impmon didn't encountered the tamers yet hence the reason for Takato and Guilmon still unable to biomerge none of the others are able to for that matter except for Henry

3. the D-reaper will not appear in this fic

Hmm that's all I can think of for the moment if you have questions or anything don't be shy or hesitate to ask. I know I am not a good writer but your reviews really help pointing out mistakes (not only for me but for other authors out there as well) so please review and tell me what you think.
