Leilah pov. (Forest [Unknown])
'Oww, what the hell happened, why does my head hurt?' I struggle to sit up before noticing that I'm face down in the dirt, 'That would explain why I can't sit up'. Standing, my left arm bursts into pain, clutching it I look around, 'Is that my guitar case?' walking over I find that it is indeed my guitar case, 'How did this get here?'
"Hello, Leilah," a voice calls to me, looking around I don't see anyone, 'alright then, hearing things now,' slinging my case over my shoulder and strapping it to me back, I take time to see where I am. I landed in a forest, but not any forest I've ever seen, jungle trees were growing next to evergreens next to sakura, 'Weird,' "Hello Leilah, down here," looking down I saw a brown and white seal, smiling up at me.
"Note to self, ask Olivette what the hell was in those meatballs, I refuse to believe they were normal, till then I'll find Merlyn, make sure they're alright," I mutter, walking off to find them.
"Wait up, this place is dangerous, for humans like you," the seal tells me, voice sounding young yet not annoying, like the kids I babysit back home, I pause, and look back at it.
"All the more reason to find Lyn," I say, as I continue in the direction I was headed in before.
"Merlyn is this way," The seal informs me, pointing to the left, I nod and start heading in the indicated direction. Not thirty seconds after I start walking, a very battered looking Merlyn steps out of the forest, a wild look in their green eyes.
"Leilah, thank god you're okay," Merlyn shouts, pulling me into a hug. Returning the hug as best I can, I see a spiked fuzz ball, about the size of a basketball following them, as well as the medical bag from camp, 'so I'm not the only one that found something we didn't have with them prior to falling,', "Seems you have a new friend too, huh?" Merlyn asks, releasing me from the hug.
"Yeah, have you seen the others?" I ask, looking around, trying to see if I can see any of the others. Suddenly something in my guitar case starts buzzing, while Merlyn's vest pocket starts ringing. Opening my case, I see me tuner has changed, and is displaying something on the screen.
{Pukamon, In-training Data Digimon}
{Tsunomon, In-training Data Digimon}
"Your arm's hurt, let me see," Merlyn states, gesturing for me to crouch with them, having ignored the ring in their pocket. I sigh, knowing that they won't let me do anything else until I do, I kneel, showing them my arm.
"It started hurting when I stood up," I inform them, as Merlyn pokes my shoulder, 'AHHH,' I wince, shooting them a glare.
"Sorry, your arm's broken, hand me a couple branches, and take your jacket off," Merlyn says, after feeling my arm for a bit. I nod, doing as told, while Merlyn rips a length of gauze.
"Merlyn, when did you-," I start only for them to cut me off.
"Don't know, found in the bag when I came to," Merlyn tells me while they work, I nod.
"Alright then," I say, Merlyn's eyes soften, then they go to work, fixing my arm as best they can.
"Hello, Friend Leilah, I am Tsunomon, pleased to make your acquaintance," the fuzzy basketball introduces itself, sounding young as well, however it's more on the quiet side of things
"Oh yeah, guess I should probably ask who you are, Little guy?" I say, before wincing as Merlyn ties a couple branches to my arm.
"Sorry, continue,"
"My name is Pukamon, and welcome to the Digital World," the seal, now identified as Pukamon, I look around, taking in the world around me.
"I see, so that's what my tuner was going on about, speaking of which, what happened to it," I question, looking at my tuner. The screen on it is bigger, and it has markings along the edge I've never seen before.
"I don't know my audio board's the same way, it talks now, told me what this little guy's name is, has similar markings too," Merlyn states, as they continue their work.
"I don't know, but Mochimon might," Tsunomon says, pausing to think for a bit, in the middle.
"Mochimon?" I ask, looking at them confused.
"Yes?" a new voice questions, sounding echoey, looking over I see a pink octo-blob, stepping out of the woods, in to the circle of broken branches we were seated in, 'how'd I miss that?' they were followed shortly thereafter by Shrad, a drawstring bag slung across his back, his pedometer having similar markings and buttons I don't think were there before.
{Mochimon, In-Training Data Digimon}
"Good to see your alright, I wave with my good arm, Shrad waves back.
"Wish I could say the same for you," Shrad motions towards my arm, where, Merlyn has finished working.
"Hey man, the puff ball is Tsunomon, while the floating seal is Pukamon, seen any others?" Merlyn states, gesturing towards the digimon in turn. Before Shrad could answer, we hear a scream that sounded like a kid.
"Let's go," I say as I stand, and start walking towards the scream, the other two following me.
Evander pov. (Plains [Unknown])
"Okay so let me get this straight, I have been transported to another dimension, ten feet in the air, mind you; and the only thing I have to explain why is a talking head that doesn't even know which way home is, or what happened to my camera?" I ask, looking at said talking head. It was pinkish white with long floppy tendril ear things on top.
{Koromon, In-Training Data Digimon}
"That is correct, yes," Koromon confirms, I groan in annoyance, 'what am I going to do now?'
"Attention!" a voice yells, before I could look around, something landed on me, "J'ai dit attention,"
"Get off of me please," I ask, face in the dirt, 'Today is not my day, is it?'
"Où sommes-nous," the girl says, in a language I don't know, sounds like french from what little I remember from school, looking around. She has, what looks like a travel case for an electronic of some sort, and a fluffy rat looking thing in her arms.
{Kyaromon, In-Training Vaccine Digimon}
I stand up, "Who are you?" I ask, taking a step away, she looks at me confused for a moment before someone else calls out to us.
"Ustedes dos no han visto una niña de por aquí, ¿verdad?" a boy runs down a nearby hill, a single strap bag over his shoulder, and a grey puff ball with matching ears. I stare back in confusion.
{Pagumon, In-Training Virus Digimon}
"No, ¿por qué?" the girl askes, looking worried.
"Can someone tell me what's going on?" I question, getting annoyed.
"Apologies, have you seen a little girl around here?" the boy says, worried.
"No, I haven't, who are you two anyway?" I ask, on guard just in case.
"I am Nikos, and you are?" the boy introduces himself, holding a hand out.
"My name is Evander," I say shaking his hand.
"Mi nombre es Nikos, esto es Evander ¿quién podrías ser?" Nikos inquires, turning to the girl and fluffy rat, extending his hand.
"Tamela, un placer conocerte," the girl responded, shaking his hand.
"They seem nice," Koromon says, voice sounding scratchy, watching the other two with me.
"I am Pagumon, pleasure to meet you, Evander and Tamela," the puff ball says, voice sounding like a small child, looking between me and the girl, I guess her name is Tamela.
"Like wise, my name is Kyaromon," the rat introduces itself, also sounding like a child, though more feminine.
"So, what's our plan?" I ask, look at the others present, Kyaromon translating for Tamela.
"I guess we head north, anyone know where that is?" Nikos says, before repeating himself in the other language.
"What language is that anyway?" I question looking around.
"Spanish," comes the reply, when two more girls came running out of a ditch a little distance away. The first had something strapped to her chest. The other one I recognized, it was Nat. They had a little brown thing and a little green thing chasing them.
"Any idea who the one with the bag is?" I ask, as Tamela runs forward yelling and waving her arms in the air, seeming to try and get the girls attention.
"Nope, Tamela does though, from the looks of it,"
{Chocomon, In-Training Data Digimon}
{Gummymon, In-Training Vaccine Digimon}
"So, while Tamela deals with them, what are we going to do?" I ask, watching Tamela calm the other girls down.
"I guess pick a direction and start walking,"
Leilah pov. (Forest [Unknown])
We arrive at a set of ruins, not unlike those from a movie franchise back home. As we arrive a young girl, a boy about our age that I recognize as Earle, a body-less cat, and a radish looking bulb come running out, followed shortly by a large purple wolf looking creature.
{Nyaromon, In-Training Data Digimon}
{Pyocomon, In-Training Data Digimon}
{Sangloupmon, Adult Virus Digimon}
"I think we should start running guys," Pukamon says, we all nod, and start running.
"What did you two do to piss it off?" Merlyn yells, at the two new kids.
"WE DID NOTHING, IT JUST STARTED ATTACKING US FOR NO REASON," Earle shouts back, carrying Nyaromon.
"WELL YOU DID SOMETHING TO IT," I call back, arm in much pain. After running for a quiet some time, we come to a cliff face going straight up, we're in a dead end.
"Well, Merlyn, Shrad, its been nice knowing you," I say turning towards the beast chasing us.
"What about me?" Earle asks, while we catch our breath.
"Everything was fine until you fell from the sky," Merlyn tells him, watching the forest.
"JERONIMO!" A voice calls out, a voice I recognize, before I can say anything Evander, Zara, Tamela, Nat and a new person and creatures I've not seen before fall towards us.
Evander pov. (Plains [Unknown])
After we got introductions out of the way, and Koromon caught everyone up to speed, we noticed a tower in the distance so we started walking towards it, I was talking with Nikos, "Any ideas on how to get back, or find our friends?" I ask.
"Van, what that?" Nat inquires.
"Not at the moment, I'm hoping the tower will answer at least some of our questions," Nikos states, taking a device off his waist, and starts to press buttons.
"Van?"
"What is that anyway?" I question, pointing to the device.
"Van?"
"It was a PDA, but something about changed when we came here, it has a bunch of functions it didn't before," Nikos says, as he finished talking, the PDA started to beep, then changed screen to a page displaying a winged serpent along with some data, that I guess pertains to the serpent.
{Airdramon, Adult Vaccine Digimon}
"Why do I get a bad feeling about that?" I mutter, when a screech sounds from above, causing us to look up, and there coming towards us, "Oh, that's why."
"Intenté decírtelo, pero estabas ocupado hablando con el chico nuevo," Nat snaps at me.
"Regardless, it doesn't seem dangerous to us right now," Nikos tells us, before it spews a torrent of flame at us.
"You were saying?" I shout, as we start running. We run for what seems like ages, when we come to a cliff, with a forest beneath us, "Well, I've fallen ten feet already, what's a few more?" I say as I jump off, "JERONIMO!"
Zara, Gummymon, Kyaromon, Tamela, and myself land in trees, the others land on the ground. Looking down I see Shrad, Merlyn, and Leilah, along with people I've never seen before.
"How nice of you to drop in and hang around," Merlyn grins at me, before a large wolf bursts into the clearing, and Airdramon descends from the plains above. The wolf roars at Airdramon, who roars back, then they turn to us.
"Bien sŭr, ils sont amis, pourquoi ne le seraient-ils pas?" Tamela groans.
"Any ideas?" Leilah asks everyone.
"Die?" I reply, looking at her, she glares back.
"Any other ideas?"
"When you're cornered, all you can do is stand and fight," Koromon answers this time.
"And how do we win in this situation, we are outgunned here," Shrad says, backing up, while the digimon jump to the ground in front of everyone.
"We try," they say in unison, as they do so, my camera, Merlyn's audioboard, Leilah's tuner, Shrad's pedometer, Nat's binoculars, Tamela's case, the soccer boy's recorder, Zara's Leap as she calls it, Nikos' PDA, and the little girl's watch all start to glow.
DIGIVOLUTION START
-Fin-
A/N: Sorry for the wait, was hoping that by posting a chapter I would be encouraged to write more, atlas no luck. Anyways, no one guessed what the partners would be so you have to wait for the next chapter for the rookies (whenever that is). I have the lines all figured out it's just going to be getting to each of them. Feel free to guess what everyone's role in then team is, as well as what the rookie forms or high are. Until next time.
