Every Fanfic I have read about the digidestined children have their unique plot. All of them seem so original, that I thought I wouldn't be able to reach such level of originality, but here I am, trying to make a story about the same theme. Therefore, here I present you the prologue of "This Our World Too"

File 0: Messages, Prophecies and Disappearances.

Yggdrasil configures itself each year in order to sustain peace in this realm. Just some updates, new bodyguards and the things are done. This was such day. I and my co-workers were walking around the Digital World doing the yearly census before Yggdrasil's update reaches one hundred percent. Approximately 200,000,000 Digieggs, 100,870,000 small digimons from fresh to rookie, 75,000,000 champions to ultimate and around some 5,000 megas. Not many reach that stage anyways. Three of my assistants approached me in their light brown colored robes, corroborating something we had witnessed before. Hours ago, we had seen a light coming from Yggdrasil's place (that's why we are doing the census) and once again the light had been seen. I couldn't since I was too busy with the papers I had at hand.

"Mr. Gennai, are you listening to us?" spoke my main helper.

"Yes, I am" I replied looking at the papers, without taking my gaze out of them.

"Then, why aren't we moving?" the second one sounded desperate.

"Moving where? We haven't finished this region yet" I tried to make my tone sound authoritarian.

"I told you he wasn't listening!" hissed the third one to my main helper. After that, he looked at me, "Look, Mr. Gennai. I am deeply sorry for my disrespect, but some of us believe that something is wrong with Yggdrasil"

"What could possibly be wrong with Yggdrasil?" I asked without a single trace of concern, still looking at the papers, "Hmm… I believe these numbers do not match" I mumble to myself.

"Mr. Gennai, please! Come with us" I felt a sweaty hand take a hold of me and then I found myself being taken to Yggdrasil's place.

The aura it emitted was somewhat strange. Normally one would feel at ease in this place, as it acted as a sanctuary, "What is the problem?"

"Please, this way" my trio of assistants guided me towards Yggdrasil, which was as normal as always. Round and white with some roots coming down the sphere, "Please, look"

I approached towards it a bit more but saw nothing, "I don't see anything…" that's when it hit me. Some cores were eaten up. Something was definitely wrong, "Does anyone has a diagnosis?"

"We have run one already but the results disappear every time we try to retrieve them" replied my second assistant.

This is a bad omen, definitely a bad omen, "Run them down again. Immediately!"

"Yes, sir" the three of them went running towards one of the general computers located in the base, "Running the analysis, sir"

I couldn't help but to sigh and brush away the sweat that was coming down my forehead, "Now, what could be wrong with Yggdrasil? We'll have to check the prophecies now when we get back home…"

"Analysis done, sir" my main helper came rushing to me and handed me more papers, "This seems to be a serious problem"

"Why do you say that?" I asked before looking at the paper. That was when I noticed it, "Virus alert? This must be a joke. Yggdrasil cannot catch a virus. It is the heart of the Digital World!"

"The analysis never lies Mr. Gennai"

"I know it does not. Tell me, how many prophecies have we uncovered until now at the ruins?" I dared to ask.

"About… fifteen sir… why do you ask?"

"Tell the other guys we must return home immediately, and if they are in other continents they must return by at least tomorrow morning. We cannot waste more time"

Better said than done, something started to happen to us. Digital powder surrounded us, leaving us dumbfounded. We couldn't move an inch. We were trapped by numbers and our bodies started shining. The virus was advancing faster than what I thought. We must act quickly and find the right prophecy or the Digital World will fall onto darkness once again.

"So how many we have left now?" we had spent at least more than five hours cracking down which of the scripts were false, "For the love of Yggdrasil… who would play such a prank on us? Placing fake scripts on the ruins…"

I turned around and looked at myself on a nearby mirror. I was old again -Small in height, almost bald and with very poor eyesight. In fact, we were all old. Our energies were now reduced, meaning that we would not finish this today and if the others have changed too, I can imply that they will take them more than one night to come back home.

"Mr. Gennai?" asked one of my personal assistants.

"Tell me" I replied.

"You got mail" he handed me my small, portable digital screen texting machine. I gave him a look that meant to leave me alone for a bit.

Once he was outside I remained in the empty room alongside the remaining scripts. Nine of them had been rejected, meaning that only six were left. I opened my mailbox and saw a message from 'Hatto'. These last few months I had met a child from the real world, which was a familiar from a close old friend. Hatto didn't know this of course but what he or she really knew was that I was not from the real world and s/he believed me. The mail said the following:

"More disappearance cases have been surging in my world. My father does not let me nor my brother go outside anymore, not that it bothers me since I'm already a shut-in. How is everything going there? Any leads on the prophecies? Need any help? I'll always be here if you need assistance – Hatto."

I replied: "My, those cases have been incrementing during these last few weeks I see. That really sounds bothersome. Everything is not going fine; it seems there is a malfunction with Yggdrasil, the 'heart' of the Digital World and a virus has started to spread throughout the land. I think I shall request some of your help this time. The prophecies that remain are indeed tricky ones. – G."

I thought Hatto's answer would take hours to come due to the hour it was (3am to be exact) but it came quickly. It read: "Please send me the scripts. – Hatto"

"From the seventeen of them, seven will be chosen to carry on the destiny they have been charged with. Weaving their own path is a must in order to destroy the lustful person which will rise in the future due to human ambitions. We chose thee, children of goodness, sobriety, fortitude, compassion, frankness, honesty, will, tameness, sensibility, gratitude, compassion, sacrifice and faith. Cleanse the evil that has surged once again in this realm from the hands from one of your kind by showing what lies inside.

That is what I could take from the ones which were left. Most of them contained the same so I took data from all of them and reached a single bulletproof prophecy. Hope that it helps, G-san. – Hatto"

There must be a mistake here somewhere… seven will be chosen but thirteen virtues are shown… just who might have played this prank on us? : "I appreciate your help, Hatto. I'm going to take this into consideration and keep you up to date with the happenings here. Please, do the same with me with the current disappearances. – G."

Real World, Sunday 31st of July.

Odaiba, Night Club "Sergeant"

A place where youthful people gather every night, usually since Thursday nights until Sunday. Today was no exception since many of them will be leaving to summer camps the following day. A small group of girls were trying to get inside but the guard did not let them go in, "Please, sir. I swear all of our names are here"

"I'm sorry ladies but no ID, no entrance" replied the man coldly. In a couple of seconds the man was pushed away by a tall, brunette girl in fashionable clothes which waved her hand at the group. Her shoulder length hair waved due to her body movements, "Pardon me miss, but what are you doing?"

"Oh, no worries. They're with me after all! Here ya go girls; I got your ID's here. I'm sorry I took them in order to register all of you. It'll never happen again. I swear!" she apologized before smiling to the guard and then turning her head to the group of girls which were all ready to star partying.

"Mitsuki, you always causing problems to us" said one of the group, "But we love you anyways!"

"Thanks!" exclaimed all the others.

"They are all here under my name, Mitsuki Kamiya" told the brunette to the guard, who did nothing else than to tick a tiny square in his list and open the path to the discotheque, "Let's get this party started then!"

Once inside, the girls sat down in a small table of eight, and they could barely breathe due to the cigarettes smoke and the quantity of people which was surrounding them. Many of them went to dance with some guys that asked them out, leaving Mitsuki and one of her friends seating alone, "Say, Mitsu, want something to drink?"

"All right, I'll go with you, Kana" suggested Mitsuki, sounding a bit concerned of being both alone.

"Okay" replied her blue haired friend with a smile, "What do you want?" she asked when both girls reached the bar, "I'll go for an Apple Martini"

"I think I'll take the same"

After being served, both girls crossed the dance floor. It was like swimming against the current of a wild roaring sea, "Don't let go off me, alright?" the brown haired girl suggested.

"Mitsu, we're not kids anymore. We have seventeen! A couple more of drinks and then you'll start partying like you always do"

"Right… I guess you're right… we're seventeen"

Minutes later Mitsuki reached the velvet seats and sat down, putting her Apple Martini on the small transparent table, "We made it, Kana"

There was no answer. She noticed her best friend was not by her side, "Kana?" It would be futile. With all the noise, no one would hear her, "Maybe she went to the bathroom without telling me while we were walking…" with that said she took a sip of her drink, "She will eventually come back…"

Mitsuki couldn't have imagined that when she heard the news tomorrow morning due to her parents, she would see that her best friend, Kana Shiganori, had been a victim from the mysterious cases of worldwide disappearances, making it through all the media.

So that's it for the introduction! I'll try to post the first chapter soon!

Please review! I hope you enjoy it!
