Chapter two: A Digital Welcome
It had been almost an hour since she had arrived and been greeted by Palmon, but there was no sign of anyone else mum had always said that there were other people in the stories. If she was honest however Cellia was glad there weren't any other people she didn't want to have to baby a bunch of newbies. She was already annoyed, Palmon was great an all but she'd hoped for an Agumon like Uncle Tai, or maybe a Gabumon like Uncle Matt, but a Palmon? Was she the equivalent of that annoying girl her father was always on about Mimi?
"What's wrong Cellia?" the Palmon said after five minutes of her sitting and contemplating the situation. Cellia stood up and stretched before turning to Palmon.
"Well it looks like we're alone out…" Cellia had begun to say when the two of them suddenly heard screaming up ahead. The pair rushed towards the source of the noise only to find a confused Gabumon staring at an eleven year old boy, the child only screamed louder at the sight of Palmon. The boy had back himself up against a tree obviously Gabumon and tried to introduce himself as the boys partner and the kid freaked at the sight of a monster. The child was wearing a grey wool hat, and a bright green T-shirt with mud coloured trousers.
Panicked all Cellia could think to do was yell at the scared child, "Shut up kid, do you want to attract a Kuwagamon?" however this didn't work and now the boy was terrified of a new monster he hadn't seem yet. Luckily it wasn't long before two more people had come to investigate the whaling child both seemed to be closer to her age (sixteen) than the boys. Cellia noted with the boy there were three other 'chosen' in total, much to her disappointment one had spiky brown hair, an orange jacket and worst of all a Vemon clearly this guy was meant to be the leader. The other girl had started to try and clam down the young boy using her Patamon she tried to explain that these weren't bad monsters and that they were friendly. She had long fair hair and was wearing a lavish blue dress. Judging from the expensive jewellery she was decorated in Cellia assumed she'd been at some formal dance when she was brought to the digital world.
Though it didn't take long to calm the terrified boy Cellia knew the damage had been done and before she could say a word she heard the buzzing sound that she'd had nightmares about as a child. The sound must be a Kuwagumon and it was time to run. "No time for introductions, we've got to move fast," no sooner had Cellia spoke that Kuwagumon had appeared above them. None of the group needed telling twice and they all began to run, the boy had started screaming again but at least he was mobile now.
It had been ten minutes of constant running, and clearly the party was getting tried. Cellia decided to take the initiative and about face along with Palmon, the other ran on for a few more seconds before they realised she had stopped. "Ok, let's see if this works…" Cellia had opened her wrist laptop, and Palmon had stood in fort of her. The rest of the group had now stopped as well and began to watch the crazy girl willing to fight a monster. Cellia pulled out her digivice and plugged it into her laptop. "Kuwagamon, virus type let's see if, he likes anti-virus software," Cellia mumbled to herself as she began to rapidly type on her computer. A surge of energy seemed to run through Palmon without warning Palmon began to digivole, "Well that was unexpected…"Cellia continued to mummer.
"Palmon Digivole to…WarGreymon," said the digimon as it transformed way beyond its current potential.
"Ok unexpected but awesome! I really got a start recommending AGV to people." Cellia yelled in delight for this revelation. The newly evolved WarGreymon proceeded to use Terra Force and moments later all that was left of the Kuwagamon was steaming pile bytes. Once the program was happy the virus was destroyed WarGreymon digivovled back to Palmon.
"Wow, Cellia what was that?" Palmon asked a rather smug looking Cellia.
"I simply uploaded an anti-virus system to the digivise; the program clearly must have turned you into a powerful vaccine type to counter the virus. Everything in this world is a physical manifestation of our computers, internet and even software, Kuwagamon is a computer virus made real. Therefore by uploading an anti-virus program to the digivice it used you two become the physical manifestation of the program I used and eliminated the virus, simply really." Cellia tried to explain to a very confused looking Palmon. The rest of the party had already re-joined Cellia and Palmon now that Kuwagamon was not longer a problem they too seemed to be very confused. Cellia just started at them blankly, "come on don't you even know where we are? This is the Digital World you're inside your PCs inside your laptops and inside the internet, technology comes to life a simple line of code could be a living breathing creature... Well on behalf of all digimon Welcome to Digimon World!"
