MISFITS IN ACTION #1
Glitch Tekka
The place: Tekka Swamp.
Tekka Swamp. Not the best place to live in when you're stuck in the digital world……but it sure as hell beats any place ruled by the Digimon Emperor.
My names Emitt, The Digimon here call me Emmy, as does my companion McPhage, or just plain Phage as he'd like to be called. I live in a Swamp, Tekka Swamp, in a place called the Digital world where some other kid's gone on an insane taking-over-the-world gambit and enslaved a whole heap of other digital monsters, called Digimon.
Tekka Swamp is a swamp surrounded by a plain of muddy grass, then followed up with miles of trees and other forest related plants. You could say that we live in the middle of nowhere, and that's the way we like it, Hard to get to, even harder to find. Tekka Swamp is also called Misfit Town for the simple reason that every Digimon here has no really special attacks or powers. No Horn buster, no Meteor Wing, no Giga blaster, only wits and mediocre attacks like Rock smash or Pumpkin squash or even Poop flinging. Yeah it's mostly made up of Pumpkinmon, Gotsumon, Sukamon, Chumon, and a few scarce rookies.
Phage and myself got here because we were being chased by that emperor guy, a hoard of Airdramons and Tyrannomons chased us from this TV monitor where we popped out after following a kid named Ken and we ended up here. We've been stuck here for about three years now. For those last three years we've lived in Misfit Town by the swamp, catching assorted fish and clams and such to feed us.
Sure, we also do a bit of boat fishing with nets to help Misfit town's Resident Café & Restaurant in exchange for free meals, but other than that we have lots of time on our hands, So we took up ownership of the Chateau la` Misfit, the resident motel/hotel/bar. Nice little place, two stories tall with an elegant design, much like something from the 70's or the 80's, complete with bar stools. It's got a nice shade of white on it, thanks to Phage scrounging up some paint from a Dimwitted Sukamon, and I managed to put in a Pool table I found in the swamp. It's got a steady stream of customers, mostly various Digimon who're looking for a sanctuary away from the Digimon Emperor. We get lots of stories, like how this D.E guy is from the real world, that he only appears during the day and also that he can breathe fire.
Like I said, Lots of stories.
I also heard from a residing Guardromon that some kids from the real world are opposing him, but personally I doubt it. Who'd want to risk their lives for a place they don't even know? I think it's just a bunch of rumors spread by optimistic Digimon, trying to cheer up morale.
That's what I thought, until one of these bastards showed up on our doorstop…Or someone that knew them anyway….
It all had been a normal day. Get up, get dressed, go fishing, bring the fish back, go man Chateau la` Misfit with Phage. We had been chatting with a Numemon, trying to explain the fundamentals of running this place in case of an emergency, when Two Gotsumon burst in.
"EMMY! PHAGE! Someone's here!!!" Phage looked up quickly.
" 'Nother customer?" Both gotsumon shook their heads in tandem.
"No!!! Humans!!" Phage looked over at me, eyebrow's raised curiously.
"Humans?" He asked skeptically. I just shrugged and politely excused us away from the Numemon, walking outside with Phage on my heels. Immediately we saw a small gathering of Gotsumon and Sukamon, who seemed to be doing some major Babbling or Groveling.
Considering the Species of Digimon I'm talking about, probably Groveling.
"Should we check it out?" Phage just shrugged in response.
"Why not?" So we just moseyed on over, pushing our way through the Digimon Hoards. We ended up seeing one of those Mekanorimon, but unlike most, this one had a really old guy climbing out of it. He had on some kind of robe, and had a white pny tail sticking out the top of his head.
"Okay….That's pretty weird." I muttered, but walked on over and helped the guy down.
"Thank you! You two must be the Humans I've been hearing about." He said. That's about when the Sukamon and such started crowding around. I looked over at Phage and gave him a wink. He caught that and held up his arms.
"BREAK IT UP! NOTHING TO SEE HERE!! Go on home before something bad happens!" He started shooing the Digimon away. Luckily we commanded enough respect in this town to be able to …well…be respected. They dispersed, albeit reluctantly. I turned back to the Old man and looked down at'em.
"Welcome to Tekka Swamp, aka Misfit town Mr…?"
"Gennai. And I know of this place." He said simply, starting to walk towards the Chateau. I turned to Phage quickly.
"Get the Mekanorimon inside the back of the Chateau so we don't have any Digi-thiefs get it, I'll handle This Gennai." He nodded and started pulling at the Mekanorimon, trying to budge it. I slapped my own forehead.
"GET some Gotsumon or Sukamon to help you." I groaned, then jogged back on over to Gennai, who was already inside at the counter, looking over a glass of Digi-juice. I walked behind the counter and pulled up a stool in front of him.
"So what brings you to Misfit Town Mr. Gennai?"
"Actually a Situation most Dire. I was surprised to see two more humans here though, how'd you two get here?" He asked.
"Mmm We got stuck here following a guy named Ken. Dunno where he went to." I shrugged. Gennai nodded and gulped down the rest of the Juice.
"Got any more?" He asked. I smirked.
"Only for paying customers…" I said suggestively, holding my hand out. He seemed to sigh, but reached into his robes and dropped a few Credits into my hand. I smiled and poured him another drink, stuffing the credits away.
"So what's this Dire Situation you got your mind set on? Tekka Swamp going to dry up or something?" I asked, with a bit of sarcasm in my voice.
"In a way. You see, I'm Gennai. I'm somewhat of…a guide to the Digital World." I snickered a bit at this.
"So basically a tour guide huh? What brings a tour guide to Misfit Town?"
"If you'll let me explain. You see, Recently I've stumbled on quite an extraordinary discovery that explains everything." He stopped for a moment, sipping his juice. I Leaned forward, resting my arms on the head of the stool and my chin on my arms, this sounded like this would take a bit.
"There was a Digital world before this one, the ORIGINAL Digital World. There are a handful of Digimon and Humans who know this. With the help of Centarumon and Andromon, I've managed to discover the cause of all that had happened before and after the worlds destruction! You see, The Digital world is basically a giant program, made up of bits of Data. Occasionally in a program, a malfunction occurs. These malfunctions appear in the Digital world as Different things, Evil Digimon, devices, stuff like that. The Digivices that the Digidestined carry are examples of these GLITCHES. In the original Digital world, There were several incidents involving Evil digimon. Two Digimon had access to the data of the digital world in some way, in the forms of Dark Gears or a Dark network. Another group of Digimon, Called the Dark Masters, had a much more broader access, allowing them to change the land mass and form something called Spiral mountain. After they were defeated, The biggest Glitch occurred, called Apocolymon, whom the Digidestined defeated, thus rebirthing the entire Digital world, restarting it in a sense." He recounted. Quite a tale in my opinion.
"Nice story, what's it got to do with Misfit Town?" I asked.
"Well These Glitches occur in a domino effect. First it started with Devimon Originally, then Etemon, then one Myotismon, and went on to the Dark Masters and Apoclolymon and Restarting the Digital world, Erasing the glitches. Now, The Control Spires used by the Digimon Emperor are Broadcasting a type of signal to help control his enslaved Digimon, but that Signal is interfering with the Data of the Digital World, Causing small glitches to start popping up. Andromon has been monitoring the signal, and found out that The Glitches are starting to center around Tekka Swamp, slowly gaining in severity."
"So go have these Digidestined Buggers you talk about go get the towers." I shrugged. He shook his head.
"The damage has been done, and the Domino effect has started, meaning more severe Glitches will start to occur very soon. Besides, they have their hands full handling The Digital Emperor, stopping his enslavement of Digimon and so forth, Also I can't seem to locate them." How nice.
"So again, why are you here?"
"I was hoping to enlist the help of some of the stronger Digimon that might live here, to help stem the Glitches. But from the look of this place, I don't see any real powerful Digimon that could be of any real effect." He sighed, finishing his juice off again. I just shrugged.
"That's why this place is called Misfit Town. Nothing above a Pumpkin squash." I said.
"You don't believe a word I've said do you?" He asked quizzically. I shook my head.
"Nope." He sighed, then fished around in his pocket. From it, he pulled what looked like a Cellphone, except it had a slightly larger screen and much more buttons, except it was keys like on a keyboard.
"THIS is a Digi-analyzer, it analyzes The Type of Digimon, Personality, and attacks, then displays it. Normally this is part of a Digivice, but Andromon managed to make one." I smirked cockily.
"Great, a Cell phone with attachments. This is hardly any evidence Gennai." I said.
"Yes but this is a DIFFERENT type of analyzer!" He cried. At this point, Phage came in from the back with a Gotsumon.
"Got the Mekanorimon stored in the back." He said, walking over to Gennai and I. I nodded, then noticed Gennai eyeing the Gotsumon. He got off the stool and grinned.
"Let's step outside, I shall demonstrate. Bring the Gotsumon!" He said, trotting outside. Phage turned to me, giving me a rather quizzical look. I just shrugged and grabbed the Gotsumons hand.
"Let's go see what the old fogy is gonna do." I suggested, bringing Gotsumon and Phage out. Gennai had the analyzer out, and was pointing it at the Gotsumon.
"Step away from the Gotsumon please…" Phage and I stepped away, much to the Gotsumon's dismay.
"Uh….guy's? What's Goin' on??" He cried nervously.
"Do not worry Gotsumon, this will only be slightly painful." Gennai said as he pressed a button on the Cellphone thing, shooting a white beam into the Gotsumon. A Few seconds later he started screaming bloody murder and flailing as the white beam engulfed him. Phage and I covered our eye's as a bright flash erupted. We looked back at the Gotsumon, and in his place was a rather LARGE Rock-like Digimon that looked like it was held together by stitches, a pale yellowish hue with a brownish cover over one of it's eye.
"AHHHHH! SLIGHTLY PAINFUL MY DIGI-ASS!!!" The Digimon formerly known as Gotsumon cried. It walked off, screaming bloody murder. Gennai looked at us and was probably astounded at how low our jaws had dropped in surprise.
"How….what….what was that….?" Phage mumbled.
"Rockmon." Gennai shrugged.
"No I mean the CELLPHONE!!" Gennai walked on over, handing Phage the Cellphone.
"You see, it can Digivolve a few select Digimon, Scan Digimon, and store the data. Now, the reason Why I'm showing you thi is because I need your help." I blinked at him dumbly.
"I'm too old to take care of the Glitches, so I need you two to remedy them." Didn't sound TOO hard….
"What's our pay?" Phage asked shrewdly. Phage, good Man, good BUSINESS man. Gennai stopped a moment, rubbing his chin.
"How about Two Select Digimon to help?" Baah.
"And?"
"Something to help Digivolve them?" Warmer….
"Mmmm I dunno….There IS the danger issue.."
"Information to help you?" Almost there…..
"Ehhh Talk is cheap…" Phage almost had'em….
"…..A hundred Digi-credits a glitch." BADABING! Phage and I looked at each other, grinning. We turned back to Gennai and shook his hand.
"YOU, old man, Got yerself a DEAL." I said. Gennai nodded and handed over the Digi-phone.
"THIS will help you identify the Glitches if they are Digimon, I'll send the Two Digimon within the week." Gennai promised.
"Now, how about My Mekanorimon so I can get back to my home? I left the Dishwasher running with a Demidevimon in charge…."
