Digimon Season 1 ½
By ShinobiWolf
A/N- School just got out yesterday, so now I'll have some decent time to work on this stuff.
Chapter One: A New Threat RevealedMatt sighed. He took a few licks of the mint chocolate chip ice cream he held, as he looked out at the numerous sail boats in the bay.
"This is a real nice day, Matt. And the ice cream only makes it better!"
"TK?"
"Yeah Matt?"
"You have ice cream all over your face…"
"You mean I look like my ice cream cone?"
"Yup."
"I'd better go wash up before I melt!" TK rushed off to the bathroom. Matt stuffed the last bit of waffle cone into his mouth. He chuckled to himself as TK tried with difficulty to squeeze behind the heavy bathroom door. He got up from the bench and leaned on the railing, letting the cool, summer breeze blow through his hair. TK and he got to spend the whole weekend together, and he wished that it could have lasted longer.
"Izzy, Izzy, look at what I found!" Izzy ran over to Tentomon, kicking up warm, white sand. "What is this thing that I found?"
"It's a coconut."
"A coco-what?"
"A coconut. You can crack it open to get the meat and milk inside."
"Milk? In a nut?"
Izzy smiled. "It's not really milk. It's a sweet liquid that you can drink."
"Sounds wonderful! Are there any rocks around we can use to smash it open?"
"Hmm…" They each glanced around the beach. "Try zapping it."
"Okay. Super Shocker!" The coconut crumbled apart, and the aroma of toasted coconut meat filled the air.
As they enjoyed their snack, dark clouds began to cover the sky. A sudden, torrential downpour sent Izzy and Tentomon to seek shelter under a small rock ledge. They were cornered. There was no way that they could escape the huge tornado coming at them.
"Aaaahhh!!!" Izzy shot up in bed. "…Just a nightmare…" He panted to himself. He had been wanting to see Tentomon so bad lately, he had dreams about the Digital World nearly every night.
"Izzy?! Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, Mom. It was just a bad dream."
"Are you sure?"
Izzy nodded his head and tried his best to show a good smile. "I'll be fine."
"Oh, okay. Let me know if you need anything."
"I will."
Mrs. Izumi left. Just as Izzy was about to go back to sleep, his computer went off.
Beep beep beep. Beep beep beep.
"What now…" He muttered, groggy and obviously unhappy. He dragged himself over to his computer.
"Hello Izzy!"
"Gennai?! At this hour, it'd better be important." Izzy truly was happy to get news of the Digital World, but he was just plain tired; and he wasn't getting enough sleep as it was.
"Now is that anyway to greet an old friend?"
"Alright… sorry… What is it?"
"Oh, only the fate of the two worlds."
Izzy was now officially awake.
"I've been sending messages to the others as we speak. A mega-level Digimon has again risen to claim the Digital World as their own. Her name is Shadowmon, and has only been recently discovered to exist. Who knows how long she's been planning for this. Not many have survived encounters with her, but it is rumored that she can shapeshift, and even possess anything or anyone she wishes."
"When should we leave?"
"Be ready to go at around three tomorrow afternoon. I'll contact you again once you arrive."
Another sunny day… Thought Kumika Takahino to herself as she approached the sidewalk in front of her and her parents' apartment building.
"What I'd give for a single day of rain…" She climbed the stairs to the fourth floor and walked to the door marked '#32'. As she entered, she heard a familiar giggle and turned to see her very own Digimon, maybe about the size of a large house cat. The little, green Digimon affectionately nuzzled against Kumika's leg.
"I'm so happy you're back!"
Kumika knelt and picked Neilanimon up in her arms.
Kumika's dark chestnut hair went just past her shoulder blades, hanging in a neat braid. Neilanimon gave Kumika's eyes great comfort, and she has for almost a year now.
A few months ago she was walking down an empty street in a soft rain, and saw a box propped up against a wall. She was then surprised to see a small, four-legged, furry creature slowly step out of the box holding two small objects in her mouth. One hung by a white cord. She lay the objects on the ground and spoke to Kumika.
"You are one of the Digidestined, chosen to protect all Digimon and humans from evil. You hold the powerful crest of loyalty. This tag, and Digivice, belong to you." The creature said, pawing the two objects. Kumika picked them up and studied the window of the crest. She placed a questioning look at the creature, and the creature herself knew what that question was. "I'll start from the beginning. Digimon is short for 'Digital Monster', and we live in the Digital World. Some Digimon are very small and innocent, while others can be very large and powerful. And like humans, some Digimon's intentions may not always be very good. The Digidestined are chosen to protect the Digital World-my world-and your world from danger. And I, belong with you."
Kumika curled up with Neilanimon on the couch, and drifted off into a peaceful sleep.
"Everyone, stay down!" Whispered a commanding voice from behind some brush. The eight Digidestined were hiding from an Okuwamon that had spotted them the moment they arrived in the Digital World. Their soft rustling in the brush caught the Okuwamon's attention.
"Double Scizzor Claws!"
The Digidestined, their cover blown, ran for more cover. They kept on running through the forest as fast as their legs could carry them. Joe carried Gomamon while Tai and Matt dragged along their younger siblings.
"Keep running! He's still on our tail!" Tai didn't think about taking his place at the front of the team; he just did what everyone else did, and that was run. They ran until they reached a lake in a clearing. Agumon and the other Digimon were exhausted from battling Okuwamon, and they stumbled as they skidded to a stop near the water's edge.
"Agumon digivolve to- " Agumon fell on his rear, not able to summon up enough energy to digivolve even to the champion level. Unprotected, the group shuddered as they expected Okuwamon to burst out of the trees, ready to spring on their tiny human bodies. Okuwamon's giant, grey, insectoid body stepped out of the trees and readied his pincers to crush his sixteen victims.
Okuwamon! He paused his attack to listen to the feminine, controlling voice inside of his head. The children will live, for now. There's something else I wish for you to do.
"I will obey." He lifted the hard cover of his back to reveal two pairs of clear, bug-like wings. His four wings created an annoying buzzing sound as he flew off. Tai adjusted the goggles supporting his mass of chocolate-brown hair as he regained his thoughts.
"That was about enough exercise to last me more than a week…" Tai could be a jerk at times, but he always tried to keep things in a good mood. (Although his jokes weren't always appreciated.)
"A week?! That was enough physical activity to last me at least a year or two!" Mimi whined, acting like the sweat on her skin was a deadly toxin. She was about as active as a pampered girl could be, and that wasn't very much. Izzy sat down on a nearby rock and turned on his laptop, putting the screen upright. Matt knelt by the edge of the lake and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"You know, Mimi, we've ran from evil Digimon so many times, you'd think you'd be used to it by now." He took off his gloves and dipped his sweaty hands into the cool, clear water. Mimi gave him a snotty look and stuck her tongue out at him, crossing her arms.
"Hey guys, I got e-mail from Gennai!" Izzy clicked on the tiny animated image of Gennai to hear his message.
"Hopefully all of you are here. I have already informed you all of Shadowmon, but it seems that she isn't the only threat."
"What now?" Joe whined, clearly unhappy at this turn of events. He forgot that it was just an e-mail
"Not only have many Digimon been disappearing, but I've been told that Shadowmon has been opening rifts to the human world." If Gennai had really been there, he would have heard gasps escape from every mouth. "It's up to you to find a way to seal up the rifts for good, and keep Shadowmon from going there herself." Everyone was silent, until Biyomon spoke up.
"If she's threatening your world, Sora, then we have to stop her."
"Biyomon's right. You wouldn't want to save Digiworld and return home only to find that it's been completely destroyed, now would you?"
"That's right, Patamon." TK smiled at the tiny Digimon on top of his head.
Tai turned to Izzy. "So where do we start looking? You're the brains around here."
"My theory is that Okuwamon was sent by this so called Shadowmon. If we rest and wait for another one of her flunkies to attack us, we may find out something about where she's hiding. It may not be your style, Tai, but staying put rather than rushing blindly into things may work to our advantage."
"Well, I vote with Izzy." Tai raised his hand, and watched as Matt, Sora, and the rest of the Digidestined and Digmon, raised their hands and paws to show that they too agreed with Izzy.
Agumon and Gabumon went about making a campfire while the rest of the Digimon scavenged for food, and the kids tried to construct a shelter that would protect them from possible rain.
