Digimon: A New Frontier
Hey it's Loki921. Sorry that it has been a while, and to those of you wondering I'm not dead.
Im sorry that I haven't updated "Flame Within Miracles" for a while, but I haven't dropped it and I have no plans to. I have just ran into a few problems. The first is that I got stuck and wasn't sure where to go, but I'm getting around that. The second is that I'm not to satisfied with the 7th chapter yet, despite the fact it is almost 30 pages in length but not where I want it to be. The third is that I'm going to have to spilt it into two chapters because of the length, but I won't publish them until both are done. The last problem was that I ran out of inspiration and had to take a hiatus. That's one of the reasons that I'm writing this story is to get it back, and it's working. If time is willing, I'm hoping to have the chapters out on or before Monday, here's hoping.
This story came from the idea I had of what would happen if Davis was in Frontier. I personally like this idea I had. His presence will change everything. This is going to be a different take on Frontier, and I think you will see how soon. I hope that you like this story.
Due to the fact that I will be using the series as a helpful guide, keyword being "guide," I think I can put out chapters regularly, hopefully. There will be original adventures and drastic changes and deviations from the canon, but not so much that it is unrecognizable.
This chapter is around 5,000 words and 16 pages. It bad for a first chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own digimon, only this story so don't sue me.
Remember: Read, Follow, Favorite, and Review.
P.S. I may do a sequel to this story after it is done.
Ophanimon: "It is time."
Chapter 1: Follow the Leader
Hello, my name is Daisuke Motomiya, or Davis to my friends. I'm nine years old, my best friends are Kari and her older brother, Taichi 'Tai' Kamiya. I live In Odabia with my mom, dad, and older sister, Jun, but due to the fact that my parents are overseas for a business trip, I'm staying the summer with my Aunt Yuriko and uncle Hiroaki Kanbara in Shibuya. They have two boys of their own; Shinya, age nine, his older brother Takuya, age eleven. I get along with both of them real well, so well in fact that we see ourselves as brothers rather than cousins.
But as much as I would like to talk about me staying with them, this story is not about that. This story is about how a group of kids, including myself, went on an unbelievable adventure to save another world filled with strange and powerful creatures. The story begins on Shinya's ninth birthday, a weird message, and split second decision that would change the course of destiny.
An eleven year old boy was leaning on his left arm that was propped on the kitchen table while the pointer finger on his right was messing with a strawberry sitting on the cake that was placed in the middle of the table. The boy wore brown Bermuda shorts, a yellow shirt with a stylized symbol resembling a 'D' on it, a red unbuttoned jacket with a pocket on each side covered the shirt, light brown gloves covered each hand, and the green hat and goggles that normally covered his medium length brown hair was placed on the back of the chair. The boy had a bored look on his face as he stared at the cake. Just as he was about to pick off the strawberry that he had been messing with, his mother called out "Don't even think about eating the cake, Takuya," then proceeding to argue with his father over the phone about him being late for Shinya's birthday party.
"And tell him I want something big, like a fork lift," a young male voice called out to Mrs. Kanbara.
Takuya glanced at the young boy who had spoken. The boy had had an orange shirt and beige shorts on. He had the same shade of brown eyes and hair as Takuya. The only difference between the two brothers was that Takuya was two years older.
"Mind your manners, Shinya," the mother called back. Shinya gave a quick pout that caused the other young boy that was sitting next to him to giggle. This boy was dressed in a blue, short-sleeved hoodie with brown shorts, and unlike the other two boys he had dark brown eyes and wild, maroon colored hair that stuck up in various directions. He also had a darker tan than the other two boys. This was Daisuke 'Davis' Motomiya, the cousin of Takuya and Shinya, and he and his older sister were staying with them while their parents were abroad. Currently, his sister was shopping in town with some friends.
Both nine-year-olds were sitting in the living room playing video games on a console that was hooked up to the T.V. They were playing some racing game that involved go carts, and were currently on a rainbow like coarse. Shinya was in the lead until Davis launched what looked like a blue shell with spikes that caused Shinya to wreck and let Davis pass him.
Takuya looked away from the two young boys and sighed, "Bored. Bored. Boring. My whole life is boring." Takuya was so lost in his boredom that he failed to notice his phone beep as it received a new message. "Bored. Bored. Bored." Then he happened to glance at his phone, and notice the alert for a new message. Curious, Takuya picked up the phone and checked out the message. The message was simple, saying "Do you want to start?" And having to boxes that said "Yes" or "No."
"Doesn't say who it's from," Takuya noted. Thinking that it couldn't be any worse than sitting at the table being bored out of his mind, he clicked the box for "Yes."
"Takuya Kanbara," a mature female voice came from his phone, surprising the boy. "It's time to decide your future, Takuya. Your destiny is calling." Then a new message popped up on his screen; "Take the 5:45 Shibuya bound train from Jiyuugaoka Station," the voice read out.
"This is way better than being bored. My destiny? That is downright cool,"Takuya thought as he glanced at the clock on the wall. The current time was 5:37pm. "I'll never make it, but that never stopped me before," he thought as he quickly put on his hat and goggles as he made his way out the door, just barely hearing his mother to tell him to be careful and not to play in the street because it was dangerous as he put on his yellow and red sneakers. Takuya ran out the door so fast that he failed to notice the set of curious, dark brown eyes that watched the whole episode.
Pausing the game, Daisuke turned to Shinya who was looking at him in confusion. "Did you see the way your brother reacted when he got that message on his phone?"
"Not really," Shinya shrugged his shoulders. Before looking out the window to see his brother run by.
"He just zoomed out. Fast as lightening," Davis said and further emphasized his point by doing his right arm in a "zooming" motion.
"So," Shinya questioned his cousin's point.
"Don't you find it suspicious that he would do that?" Shinya did have to agree with Daisuke on that, Takuya rarely hurried for anything other than when he was late for school or a soccer game. "My sister only hurries like that when she is about to go on a date, and I did hear a girl's voice coming from his phone."
Shinya's eyes widened at that. He hadn't thought of that before. Could his brother be on a date? Shinya thought his brother was to dense for anything like that, but he also knew that Takuya was very popular with the girls at school with him being the soccer team's captain. Then, if he was on a date….. A mischievous smile lit upon his features; one that Daisuke soon mimicked. "If that is true then as his younger brother…"
"…And honorary younger brother," Daisuke added.
"We have certain responsibilities to uphold," Shinya continued.
"We need to follow him," both boys concluded. Shinya switched off the game as Daisuke grabbed his cell from the wall where it had been charging. He stuck it in his pocket without looking at the screen. Then both boys ran to the door to put on their shoes. Shinya quickly slipped on his green and blue sneakers while Daisuke was lacing his blue and red tennis shoes. Once their shoes were on Shinya told his mother that they were going to go to the park for a while, but Daisuke suspected that she knew what they were really up to by the smile and gentle shaking of her head as she told them to be watchful of strangers and to be careful going down stairs. Both boys nodded before they exited the house and closed the door behind them.
"Hurry, I saw him go this way," Shinya said as he ran down the sidewalk that led to the right.
"Yeah. I heard the girl on the phone mention something about Jiyuugaoka Station," Daisuke told his cousin as he ran just behind him.
"Alright. To Jiyuugaoka Station it is," Shinya nodded.
It took them a while, and both boys were panting, but they made it to the train station just in time to see Takuya grab a ticket from the automated ticket machine and then run through the turnstile. They quickly ran to the ticket machine to get tickets, just as they reached it two tickets were dispensed, Daisuke did note how the tickets shined for a second as there were being dispensed but thought it was a trick of the light.
"Well that was convenient," Shinya said as the boys grabbed the tickets.
Daisuke could only nod at the strangeness of it. "Maybe Takuya put too much money into the machine since he was in such a hurry, and only took the first ticket."
"Maybe," Shinya thought before he saw that the train was about to leave. "But that doesn't matter; we need to go now!" Both boys ran to the turnstiles, and jammed both of their tickets into the insertion slot. Not waiting to be cleared, they jumped the turnstiles and ran straight to the train car behind the one that they had saw Takuya get into. Running as fast as their short legs could carry them they just managed to make it into the car as the doors closed and the train took off.
"We..We…We made it," Shinya panted out inbetween breathes as he used the back of his hand to wipe the sweat off of his forehead.
Daisuke nodded as he was bent over and had his hands in his knees trying to catch his breathe. "Now where is your brother?"
Shinya walked over to the door that led between the car they were currently in and the one before it. Standing on his tiptoes he looked through the window and saw his brother rubbing his head as everyone was looking at him. Takuya then looked at a boy with black hair and wearing a bandana, and asked him something about his phone.
Catching a change in light he quickly looked behind him, and he swore he saw something red looking in through the window of the car's main door. What ever it was quickly vanished before he could get a good look at it. He turned to Daisuke who was also looking at the window. As if sensing Shinya staring at him, he turned to his cousin and nodded, meaning he had seen the red thing as well. Slowly Shinya turned back to the window to return to spying on Takuya, but stopped when he noticed that he wasn't the only one looking though it.
A foot away from Daisuke was another black haired boy that Shinya thought looked very similar to the boy with the bandana that his brother had spoken to, he even looked to be the same age as his brother and the bandana boy. The only difference was that his hair was shorter and covered by a blue hat instead of a bandana. He also wore a long sleeved red shirt with a short sleeved green jacket over it that was open. He had on white pants and green sneakers with yellow streaks.
Shinya guessed that the boy thought that he was being sneaky when he glanced at the door from the corner of his eyes, but it was defiantly noticeable if one bothered to look. The occasional glares were even more noticeable as they sent cold shivers down Shinya's spine. Then the boy turned and looked at Shinya. Both boys just stared at each other as their eyes met, and both continued to stare as their faces turned red from the embarrassment of being caught spying. Shinya was relieved when Daisuke broke the trance the two where in when he broke their line of sight by walking in between the two as he went to join his cousin by the door.
"Anything interesting yet," Daisuke asked, apparently oblivious to the awkward moment that he had put an end to, or the fact that the boy with the hat was now looking at them wth curiosity.
"Nothing too interesting," Shinya responded. "Just nii-san being his typical self."
Daisuke was about to respond to Shinya's comment when something strange happened; all of the cellphones on the train started to go off at once. Shinya, Daisuke, and the boy with the hat looked around them as everyone went to answer their cell phone. Daisuke the. Noticed that his was going off as well. He reached into his pocket and pulled it out, but before he could even get a good look at it he stopped as he heard the same girl's voice from before.
Moving quickly Daisuke and Shinya turned back to the window in the dividing door to get a look at Takuya who as looking at his phone. They could barely hear as the voice told Takuya to "Transfer to the six o' clock west bound train." As the Takuya yelled something, the two boys pulled away from the window and looked at each other.
"Another train," Daisuke groaned.
"Look at it this way, we know now where he is headed. That train only makes one other stop after six until it's next run at eight, The Shibuya Central Station," Shinya explained to his cousin. Daisuke sighed but nodded in acceptance.
A few minutes later the train came to a stop at a station, and the two young boys disembarked. They looked around for the goggle headed preteen and saw him boarding another train. Moving fast, they made for the car that was right behind the one Takuya boarded. Before they could get on Davis stopped and looked up and caught another glimpse of the red thing that they had seen looking in on them from the other train; only this time it seemed to hop on top of the train that they were about to board from the one they had just gotten off. Before Daisuke could get a better look, Shinya grabbed his hand and yanked him on board before the doors could close. Since the car was mostly empty the boys were able to grab seats next to each other near the dividing door between their car and the car Takuya was in.
"What were you looking at that nearly caused you to miss the train," Shinya asked his cousin.
"The red thing," Daisuke told his cousin.
"The same one from before?" Daisuke's nod was the only answer Shinya needed. "I'm not sure that this is a good idea anymore. I mean, what if that red thing attacks us or something?"
"We have already come this far," Daisuke told his cousin. "I don't think there would be a point in turning around now. Plus where is your sense of adventure; this has got to be the most exciting thing that has happened to us. Well most exciting thing in a long time," Daisuke whispered to himself as a certain memory flashed through his mind.
"What about the red thing," Shinya asked, unknowingly breaking his cousin from his thoughts on a faded memory of a battle between a giant bird and an orange dinosaur.
'Where did that come from,' Daisuke thought before turning to his cousin. "I don't think it's going to be a problem. If it really wanted to hurt us it would have already, its had a few chances already."
Shinya looked up and thought about what his cousin said. This was actually a pretty fun adventure so far. They had a big mystery, and deep down, he wanted to solve it like one of those detectives he saw on tv. He was a little fearful of the creature, but like his cousin said it hadn't hurt anyone yet. Plus the best adventures usually have some sort of creature involved, or that is what he knew based on all the books and tv shows he watched. With his mind made up he turned back to his cousin and gave the boy a wide grin that was then returned with equal excitement.
Shinya then leaned back into his seat and tried to relax, but when he saw the hat wearing boy from the other train sitting in the seat across from him Shinya nearly gasped in surprise. The boy wasn't paying any attention to him though, but staring through the window into the next car, once again the one containing both Takuya and the bandana boy. When Shinya turned to his eyes back to the older boy he was looking right back at him. Unlike before, on the other train, both boys had enough composure to turn away from each other. Shinya sighed before turning back to the window to watch his brother jog in place in front of the door to the train as it began to pull in at the Shibuya Central Station.
As soon as the doors were opened Takuya took off. With Takuya now out of sight, the two young boys got out of there seats and started to walk off the train, with Shinya noticing the boy the hat running off before them.
"Daisuke, did you see which way nii-san went," Shinya asked his cousin once they had gotten off the train.
"I was hopping that you might have; if we lost him it's going to take forever to find him in this cr…"Daisuke stopped as he spied the older goggle wearing boy running and weaving though the crowd toward the elevators following the bandana boy. "Wait! There he is, heading to the elevators." Without a thought Daisuke grabbed Shinya's arm and started to run toward the elevators, causing the other boy to let out a grunt in surprise as he was being dragged before he managed to find his footing and keep up with his cousin.
Despite how fast they were running Daisuke and Shinya didn't make it to the elevators before Takuya took a head dive through the doors as they closed, leaving the boy with the hat on the other side. The older boy glanced at the screen showing the elevator's decent before running off. Daisuke and Shinya arrived at the closed elevator right after he took off.
"Come on open up. Open up. Open up." Daisuke yelled at the elevator as he pressed the down button in a vain attempt to call it back. "Now what are we going to do?"
While Daisuke was trying to figure out what to do, Shinya looked to see where the other boy had gone. Looking around, he managed to catch sight of the hat wearing pre-teen as he started down the stairs. Taking a cue from Daisuke, Shinya grabbed his cousin's arm and dragged him along as he started to run after the other boy.
"Hey! What gives," Daisuke said as he finally got his balance back and started to run along with Shinya.
"We need to follow the boy with the hat," Shinya responded. " I saw him on both trains, following the same guy with the bandana that was on the elevator that Nii-san got on. I think he may know where to go."
Daisuke looked at his cousin with a questioning look for a second, but then a determined grin replaced the look as he turned his sights to the boy with the hat. "Then we better not lose him." Both boys then began to run even faster. Without missing a beat they started down the stairwell, being mindful to keep a good grip on the rails as they ran down the stairs.
Daisuke and Shinya had started to catch up to the boy with the hat as they took the turn from the second landing when something went wrong. The older boy with the hat had took the turn too quick and lost his balance on the third stair, and, unfortunately, his foreword momentum started to send him flying. The two younger boys and everyone else on the stairwell looked in horror as he started to fall.
Acting on instinct Daisuke, who had managed to get only a few steps away from him, reached foreword and grabbed onto the boys jacket, but instead of stopping the falling boy, Daisuke started he be pulled behind him. Shinya then reached out and caught onto the back of Daisuke's shirt with his left hand while his right grabbed onto the railing for stability. Pulling all the strength he had into a backward jerk, he managed to stop the hat boy's mometum and stop him from falling along with Daisuke.
Daisuke was lucky enough to not have moved to far before Shinya grabbed him so he was able to land on the next stair on his feet. The hat boy wasn't so lucky. He landed on his butt a few stairs below Daisuke, but it could have been a lot worse. Everyone on the stairwell let out a sigh of relief as the boy began to get up while rubbing his lower back.
"Are you ok," Daisuke said to the boy as he and Shinya walked down the stairs to his location.
"You should be more careful; the railing is there for a reason,"Shinya told the boy.
"I'm fine. Just a little sore, but I guess I should be grateful that is all that is wrong," the older boy told the cousins. "Thanks for saving me."
"It's no problem, but like my cousin said be more careful next time," Daisuke said. "I'm Daisuke Motomiya by the way."
"Shinya Kanbara," Shinya said following his cousin's lead.
"Koichi Kimura," the now names Koichi told the two younger boys. "Thanks again for saving me, but I'm in a hurry."
"We know," Shinya said, surprising Koichi. "We're trying to catch that elevator as well. My older brother is on it."
"We figured that since you were following the boy with the bandana that was with Takuya we could follow you to find him," Daisuke explained to the confused and slightly shocked Koichi.
Koichi stared at the two for a few seconds before coming to a decision. "Alright, follow me." Kochi then turned around and started to run down the stair again, but this time he was more careful and kept a hand on the railing. The two younger boys blinked and then quickly followed him.
All three kept running down the stairs as they passed several floors, until they reached a dead end. The stairwell ended in a small landing that seemed to only have a matinece room and another elevator.
"Now where do we go," Daisuke asked out loud when they reached the landing.
"Honestly, I'm not sure," Koichi said. "I thought we would have already ran into them by now. The elevator was going down pretty far according to the screen."
"So what do we do now," Shinya asked. Neither of the other boys said anything as they didn't know either.
Daisuke leaned against the door of the elevator and sighed. Then a ding was heard that confused the boys. They looked around for second before Daisuke let out a yelp as the elevator doors opened, and he fell in. Acting quickly, the other two ran in to check on the boy.
"Are you alright," Koichi asked as he helped Daisuke stand back up.
"Peachy," Daisuke responded as the doors closed, and the elevator started to descend at a rapid pace. "Shinya, I think we got your answer."
"I'm sorry that I asked," Shinya said as the three boys grabbed on the the railing on the side of the elevator to keep from falling over as the elevator sped up in its descent.
The elevator began to shake and the lights flickered on and off eliciting panicked cries from the three boys. The shaking and flickering then just stopped as the back of the elevator became transparent, almost like a window. The panic became awe as the group gazed out the window into the room around them.
They seemed to be in an underground station of some sort, if the dozen or so trains that were parked below them were of any indication. The roof was so far up that it could not be made out in the darkness. The only indication that there even was one was the sudden cut off of lights that were elevators that were ascending from the underground station to the one above. Looking closer, they could see hundreds of kids boarding the trains. Daisuke the caught sight of a figure wearing a familiar pair of goggles.
"Look there's Takuya," he pointed out as the boy began to run to a pink train that was starting to move.
"And there's Koji," Koichi whispered. Both boys looked around until they saw the boy that looked like Koichi wearing the bandana standing behind the railing of the caboose on a blue train. They both realized "Koji" must be the boy's name.
When the elevator came to a stop and the doors opened, the three boys stepped out into the station. Looking around they noticed that the station was now empty of people and that most of the trains were pulling out.
"Where is nii-san," Shinya asked as he looked around. "I don't see him anywhere."
"I don't see Koji either," Koichi stated as the boys continued to walk through the station.
"I think the trains that they got on already left," Daisuke said as he began to look at a black train with blue highlights, and what looked to be silver horns on the front; he couldn't help but think that there was something very odd about that train and the rest of them as well, there was something almost life-like about them. "We should get on board one as well."
The other two boys stared at Daisuke like he was insane; something that he didn't like. Shinya though was the one to voice the question both wanted to know. "Why should we get on a train that is going to who know where?"
"Because Takuya and Koji got on one," Daisuke told the other two in a very simple manner that nearly caused them to face fault. "And there is something strange going on here, and I want to find out what." Not saying another word, Daisuke began to head toward the black and blue train.
Daisuke climbed onto the caboose, and looked at the other two who still hadn't moved. "Well are you coming or I'm I going alone." Shinya looked at his cousin and then began to run to the train.
Before they could get to it though, a loud whistle was heard and the train lurched foreword. The boys' eyes went wide as the wheels began to move. The train was about to pull out with Daisuke on it.
"Run Shinya," Daisuke called as the train began to move. "You are going to have to move faster."
"I'm trying," Shinya called back, but he couldn't get any closer as the train began to pick up speed.
Koichi watched as the the Shinya tried to catch up to the train and his cousin. He knew that the kid wasn't going to be able to with his short legs. The boy wasn't sure what to due at first; then he recalled how the two had put themselves in danger to save him without a second thought. He owed them, and Daisuke was right, this was the only way to catch up to Koji. A look of determination entered his eyes as he ran toward the tiring boy.
Shinya kept trying to catch up to the train, but was beginning to tire out due to all the running he had already done to get to that point. Just as he felt like he was going to collapse he gasped in confusion as he felt something wrap around his waist and boost him of the ground. When he got his bearings he realized that Koichi was carrying him by wrapping his left arm around his waist and was running for the train.
Koichi was getting close to the train, but the tunnel was also getting near. If he didn't get on the train before it entered the tunnel neither him or Shinya would be getting on, and Daisuke would be all alone. With that that Koichi gave a final burst of speed and caught up to the caboose. With a grunt he grabbed the railing with his right hand, and quickly swung himself and Shinya onboard. No sooner had they both fallen on the metal platform between the car and railing where Daisuke was did the caboose enter the tunnel, cutting off most of the light.
A few minutes later Koichi managed to catch his breathe. When he looked up he saw Daisuke and Shinya hugging each other. The scene brought a smile to Koichi's face, and he couldn't help but wonder if the two younger boys may have been brothers.
Daisuke then caught him looking at them. He let go of Shinya and both turned toward the older boy.
"Thank you for your help Koichi-san," the boys said at the same time with a bow, taking Koichi by surprise.
"It's the least I could do since you did save me," Koichi said with a blush spreading across his cheeks.
"But I thought that you might not have wanted to get on board the train," Daisuke said as he glanced at the boy in confusion.
"I wasn't sure at first," Koichi admitted to the two boys, "but you were right. I need to due this to meet Koji." He then smiled at the younger boys before continuing, "Plus I couldn't leave the two of you alone in a strange place."
"Hey, don't treat us like some small kids," Shinya responded in a slightly insulted tone. "We are both nine. In fact today is my birthday."
"Well happy birthday Shinya, and I'll be sure to remember that for the future," Koichi laughed, causing Shinya to be put out. Daisuke wasn't sure about Koichi at first, but he was beginning to think that the black haired boy was going to be someone that would be easy to get along with and trust as he giggles at his cousin.
Once they calmed down, the boys opened the door to the car and entered the train. Daisuke knew one thing for certain, things were going to be interesting from here on out.
How was it? Did you like it? I hope so.
I will give you a small spoiler for later. In the next chapter I will introduce three special digimon who will act as guides or something more; you should recognize two of them despite not being in their common forms.
Daisuke will get an original spirit, but it will have its own Ancient Digimon base. That digimon will have It's own history that involves the cause of the Revolution of the Ancients against Lucemon. It's going to be interesting so don't miss out.
Tune in for the next chapter.
Remember: Read, Favorite, Follow, and Review!
ps. I love fan art. Lol
