Chapter 1: Uncalculated
A fighter and a genius were trekking through the Digital World, along with their Digimon partners, unable to find the rogue Digimon they were searching for, and time was running out. The blond, Touma, was trying to think up a plan on how to corner the monster. And the brunette, Masaru, was only thinking of punching its lights out so he could get back to the human world and be a hero.
"Come on Touma, what are we gonna do? If you don't think of anything fast, I'm gonna go find him!" Masaru punched a fist into his hand and was about to head off down the path they had seen the Digimon take. The slightly annoyed blond reached out a hand grabbing the collar of the other's jacket, pulling him back and making him stumble and fall to the ground. "Dammit, Touma why'd you go and do that?! Jerk!" He stood, rubbing his rear with a hurt glare at the abusive blond, who stood there with a hand to his chin thinking and looking at the sky. 'It looks like clouds are forming…..but it was all sunny….'
"Master!" Touma's partner, Goamon ran up to him, putting a gloved paw on his arm. Touma looked at the blue dog Digimon, giving him a nod, all the while, Masaru and Agumon were clueless as to what was going on.
The blond looked at the others sternly. "A storm's coming." He said with a grim look.
Masaru snorted, and stole a glance at Agumon looking up at the sky curiously. "We can handle a storm, Touma, what do you take us for?!"
The studied teen gave the fighter another look, "It's serious Masaru, we have no idea what storms are like here in the Digital World. It could very well me life threatening."
Giving Touma an annoyed look, Masaru turned to walk away when the storm hit out of nowhere, sending a bright yellow bolt of energy right at the pair and their Digimon, almost knocking them down and harming them. Touma quickly saw it coming and pushed Masaru out of the way while the Digimon scrambled from the spot.
The humans ended up on the ground, blond on top of brunette. 'Stupid Masaru, too thick headed to realize he almost got hurt.' Touma quickly stood, calling Gaomon over as he brushed himself off. "See, you bonehead!?" He ground his teeth, trying to collect himself, and sound unafraid. "We need to find cover."
Masaru stumbled forward and up onto his feet, brushing off his shirt, as Agumon came bounding over. "Aniki, what was that?!" The Digimon sounded scared, and well, they all were at this point, but Masaru wasn't going to let it show.
"It's fine Agumon, Touma'll think of something." The young fighter looked over at the blond, who was staring at the sky again, and watched as odd clouds formed everywhere, and light began to crack in the sky.
As they walked further from where the light had first struck, the clouds got thicker and darker with energy. Touma looked up, hoping the storm wouldn't get too bad. The pair and their Digimon came across a cave in the rock face, a place they could easily escape the coming storm. The air vibrated with energy as they ran inside, the clouds breaking and light crashing down everywhere, destroying rocks, and trees.
"Gaomon!" The blond called to his Digimon, holding out his Digivice, and storing his data inside the device. He looked to Masaru for the other boy to do the same. "We need to save their strength, they have to be safe."
Sighing, Masaru held out his own Digivice as Agumon shook his head in protest, whining. "Aniki, I don't wanna go in there!" With a glare and a light from the orange device, Agumon was soon safely inside the confines of his Digivice, his face pressed up against the screen, sadly gazing at Masaru before the teen slung it back around his neck. 'Agumon had better stay quiet in there….'
Touma sat on the ground, his back to the wall, thinking. 'Hmm...how are we going to get out of this? We may as well wait here.' He noticed the activity outside was getting worse, the wind soon picking up and blowing debris around, their cave entrance providing some protection from the element of the Digital Storm.
Masaru crouched a ways away from the blond, in a huff about being stuck in the cave. "Why do we have to stay here? We can handle this!" He punched a fist to the dirt, frustrated, and then felt a draft. "Hey, Touma. Are you cold?"
Looking over at the brunette, the young genius sighed. Masaru was onto something through, it did feel a bit chilly now. He stared out into the storm, feeling a gust of air enter the cave, ruffling their hair. It was cold...the temperature of outside was dropping fast. They were going to have to keep warm somehow till the storm subsided.
