DAY 1 PART 1

Gasp!

Gatomon woke up suddenly with a loud gasp. She looked around and saw that she was sitting in the middle of a busy street filled with people who didn't seem to notice her.

"Wait a sec!" she thought and she looked at her chest. There wasn't any wound there. She put a hand on her chest. "But...but I died! I was killed by Lily! Why am I still here?"

She stood up and checked her body for any sort of injury. During the search, she realized something.

"Where's my tail ring?" she thought. True enough, it was gone from her tail. "This is bad; I'm not as strong as I usually am now."

The next thing she noticed is a small black device around her wrist. "What's this?"

Beep! Beep!

The sound had come from the device. Looking at it, Gatomon saw a message on it.

Head to the entrance of Odaiba Elementary. You have 50 minutes. Succeed or suffer erasure.

-The DL's

"Ow!" Gatomon yelled as a sharp pain shot through her hand. She looked down on it and saw the timer already ticking away.

"Do whatever the mission tells you to do and do it before time runs out."

"This must be what Gabumon was talking about." Gatomon muttered. She remembered those words well, the last words she heard before she died. Before she died with...

"Veemon!" she suddenly remembered. She looked around and saw that he was nowhere in sight. "Where is he? He died too."

She made a decision. She would find Veemon, head to the school and find her tail ring. She ran off in search of Veemon.

"Veemon! Where are you Veemon!" she called as she ran through the streets. There wasn't any reply. A man was walking in her direction and she decided to ask him.

"Excuse me, have you seen my friend? He's around my height, has blue skin and a V on his forehead." she asked but the man just kept walking. She opened her mouth to asked again but the man walked right through her. Her eyes widened in shock and she turned to the man who continued walking as if nothing happened.

"What the-?" she thought. This was all getting too weird. She had to find Veemon fast and get to the school. She decided to literally run through the crowd of people to get around faster.

"Veemon!" she called again as she went right through people. "Veemon- Of!"

Gatomon had hit something hard as she ran. She hit the ground and her fore head hurt from the impact.

"hey, watch where you're-Veemon!"

Is was indeed him. He too was sitting down rubbing his forehead which hurt after the collision. She found out that he too had a device on his hand.

"Veemon, are you alright?" Gatomon asked while getting up.

"Well aside from that hit, I"m pretty fine." he replied getting up too. "You've got a device on your hand too?"

"Yeah." Gatomon held it up. "I've been looking for you and now we could go to the school together."

"Alright." Veemon said with a nod.

"And we'll need to find my tail ring when we're done." She showed him her tail. ""Anyway, why were you running? I'm pretty sure the school is that way."

"Oh, I was running from those guys."

Veemon pointed at a corner where several Thrash Minks and Decaravens showed up and lunged at the two Digimon who dodged them.

"Lightning Paw!"

She jumped and attempted to swat one of the Decaravens but it didn't do as much damage as she thought. It survived the attack and flew in and started pecking her head. She waved it off and tried another attack.

"Cat's Eye Hypnotism!"

But nothing happened. The Thrash Mink she was aiming at wasn't affected. It slid on over to her and whipped her painfully with its tail.

"I can't use my attacks for some reason." Gatomon said recovering from the hit.

"Neither can I." Veemon replied giving a Thrash Mink a punch to its face.

"What are these things anyway?" Gatomon said as the creatures began to surround them.

"The Noise." Veemon replied remembering what Gabumon had told him.

"Noise?" Gatomon said remembering Gabumon's message too. "How do we fight them?"

"I don't know. Aw man, they could get rid of us right now." Veemon said frustratingly. "I don't want to die again!"

Another beeping sound came from their devices. They turned their attention to it where there was something on the screen.

PARTNER CONFIRMED...

PARTNER CONFIRMED...

INITIALIZING PACT...

Both devices began to glow a white light. They both shot a thin white stream of light at each other. Both devices were connected by the line of light for several moments until the line disappeared.

"That was weird." Veemon commented.

"Hang on Veemon, let me try something." Gatomon said.

"Lightning Paw!"

She tried hitting a Decaraven again and took it out in one hit. She turned to Veemon and said: "I think that worked! We can use attacks now!"

Veemon nodded and took out a Thrash Mink with a few Vee-Headbutts. A few Decaravens swooped down on him but Gatomon took them out before they could reach him.

"Thanks." he said after this. "C'mon, there are still some more left."

Gatomon nodded and started attacking more Noise along with Veemon. The Thrash Minks needed more than a few hits to get rid of but they were defeated eventually. The whole battle lasted about ten minutes and Veemon and Gatomon won with very few injuries.

"I think we're in the clear for now." Veemon said.

"Yeah, i think so too." Gatomon replied. "Anyway, d'you know exactly what's going on Veemon?"

"Well, no." Veemon said shaking his head. "I remember dying and then I'm here."

"You too huh? Anyway, we better get to the school. C'mon, it's this way."

Gatomon took a few step and then found out that Veemon wasn't following her. Turning around, she found him standing in his original position staring at her.

"Is something wrong?" she asked.

"Nothing, it's just that I want to clear something up first before we go." Veemon answered.

"What is it?" Gatomon walked closer to him.

Veemon thought about it for a while and then spoke.

"So...who are you exactly?"
