Normal Again?
It was a partly cloudy morning over Odaiba, the city was bustling as people were working, heading to work, and students were heading to school. Our story starts at a local high school in this area. In the farthest part of the high school was a single tree and underneath this tree was a lone figure, this figure was none other then me, Daisuke Motomiya.
Now that you know my name, allow me to describe myself for you, I am 16 years old with brown, close to chocolate, colored eyes, and even though I may look like any other homo sapien, I am far from it. Unlike the others, I have animal DNA coursing through my veins, animal parts, and small traces of characteristics only found in animals. Wondering how I look like a young human teen yet have animal parts at the same time? Well maybe later I will fill you in on it...ok it is later, but for now I will explain my young appearance as my human appearance will be revealed at a later date.
In our animal kingdom, reptiles, mostly referring to snakes, shed their old skin only to reveal fresh new skin. Now I have this trait, but in my body it has evolved far passed than what we have seen. This ability allows me to change between looking older and younger by switching my skins cells to an appropriate point in time. If you can't understand this then let me make it a bit more simple, I can look as if I was a child when in actuality I am suppose to look 16; though, I can't go past my current age, so I can't look like I am 20 or anything.
With that explained, let's continue on with my description. Medium, yet long at the same time, burgundy colored hair sits on my head, it lays somewhat flat as the sides stick up a bit, the bangs are parted away from each other on the right side of my forehead as the right part frames my face, while the left is pinned back with two small clips, yet a few strands somehow rest in the middle of the two side, and the back is pulled into a small ponytail. A black T-shirt with a hood resides over my torso, while white shorts, that are rolled up a bit and are a hands length away from my ankle, cover my legs. A black belt secures my shorts, though after buckling it, some of the belt and its tip rests loosely off my hips, a black wrist band is on my left wrist, and finally sandals that have a strap in the back that goes over the heel and two straps that go over the foot to protect my feet from the filth infested ground.
With that out of the way let us continue on with my story. Currently relaxing in the shade of the tree, with a Pickmon sleeping in my lap, I watch all the students hang out before classes begin. My reason for being here is since that I am a monster I didn't have a chance to go to school and make friends, so altering my age, I decided to go to school if it is only for a short time.
...Ring..Ring..Ring...
Time for class.
After waking up Pickmon and telling her to hide in my bag that hanged off my waist, did I start to make my way towards the school. Once I was seated in my seat, I turned my head and started to stare out the window and before I knew it, the teacher had come in and started the class.
"I am Hamasaki, I will be your teacher, and I like you all to welcome a new student."
I hope a thunderstorm rolls in today.
"It's nice to meet you, i'm TK."
"Please take a seat next to the girl...with...a..camera around her neck."
"Now before I begin it seems that we already have a trouble maker on our hands."
I wonder what mom is doing right now.
"uke...Dai...Daisuke!"
"Huh?"
"Class hasn't even started and you're already day dreaming."
"..."
"Pay attention or i'm going to give you detention on the first day."
"..."
Bitch! I already know everything there is to know and that is more than your small pea sized brain can handle.
To all of you reading my thoughts I am sure that you all might be a bit confused, so here let me explain a bit. Due to having animal parts, I had to learn how to move and utilize these appendages from scratch, since the human mind only knows how to move what the human body consists of (arms, fingers, legs, and etc..). In doing so, I have made it to where I can separate different tasks within my brain allowing me to really multi-task, and the final result to all this, was an increase to my brain capacity and usage. They say that people can only use 10% of their brain, while I can use way more, I am not sure what percent I can use; in other words I am practically a genius.
Also helps that some of my animal traits have boosted the amount of brain cells I have.
...Ring...Ring...Ring...
Class finished that fast? Man time sure flies by when you're explaining.
Even though I was warned about my daydreaming from all teachers, I still continued to do it and just like that I was able to skip the monologue and boring discussions the teachers decided to feed these students.
I can't believe they are feeding these kids this crap. There were so many errors in their lessons and not to mention that nobody will really use this information.
It was finally the last class of the day, and just like all the others, it finished with me getting a warning and daydreaming. As the kids run out the door and to the front to leave, I stay behind and just gaze out the window into the skies above. Minutes seem to tick by as I continue my gaze and only until I heard the janitor down the hall did I realize that the school was pretty much empty. Gathering my things, I finally make my way to the front, but as I walk down the empty halls, my mind was cluttered.
Why do I go through this torture that they call school again? Oh yeah to make 'friends'. No matter how much I pray, no one seems to like me and it seems like everyone avoids me.
"...oser..."
"huh?"
"...closer..."
What is that voice?
"..Soon.."
Quickening my pace, I try to escape the voice that seems to be stalking me down the halls, but to no avail, it kept getting louder and out the corner of my eye I saw a dark shadow following me.
"You will be mine."
All of this was beginning to become to much for me, till soon I just couldn't take it anymore. Jumping into the nearest classroom, I hide underneath a desk and pull my knees to my chest and shut my eyes, waiting for the voices to stop.
"Enjoy your life for now."
With those final words and evil cackling, did the voice finally leave me alone. Even though it was gone, I couldn't stop the trembling that my body has started, so I just sat there with my eyes closed, legs to my chest, and head resting on my knees, waiting for the shivers to stop.
"I knew I should have recharged it after I played trigonometry trivia on the internet last night, but boy do you talk about fun."
Huh?
"I got him!"
Ok, from the sound of the voice I can conclude that it is a 13 year old boy that is in junior high school and seems to be a big braniac for that matter.
"What is the digital world? Is that a new amusement park?"
Digital world? Wait, I remember mom telling me that, but what do these kids have to do with that world?
As the group of children continued to talk amongst each other about the digital world, I couldn't help but remember everything I knew about the digital world and it's inhabitants. Even though I haven't been there personally, I can tell you now that I never want to go there, as my mother told me everything that was happening in the Digital World, but no matter how much I want to deny everything, the truth will soon be revealed and I will personally have to go to there; just as IT predicted.
Before I could continue my thoughts, a few gasps were heard throughout the room and soon the room was filled with light. Feeling a little bit of weight in my hands, I decided to open my eyes and to my greatest horror, there was a blue machine in my hands.
No! No! No! This can't be happening! Not now!
"Who is under there?" came a feminine voice, followed by a young male's voice.
"Show yourself!"
"Alright."
Coming out from under the desk I was able to see the small group of kids that I was listening to. The older one that I presumed I heard first was a red head teen that wore a green jacket, white button up shirt, light brown slacks, and regular shoes. The female of the group was a short haired brunette that obviously had a thing for pink, since her shirt, long gloves, and shoes were pink/white, while her pants were yellow. The last of the trio was a blonde boy that had a white bucket hat on with a yellow and green-ish shirt on, which was followed by brown shorts and green shoes.
Besides the one in the uniform, the girl and blonde boy have one weird sense of fashion.
"Wait...i know you. You're in our class."
"Kari you know this guy?"
"Not really TK. He always sits in the back and stares out the window. Every time someone tries to befriend him or make small talk, he just ignores them, and usually if you see him, he has a cold expression across his face. All this combined gave him the title of 'Silent Ice'."
Do people really call me that? Well that explains why people avoid me. Seriously though, I don't ignore them really, I just don't pay attention and what type of face would you make if have been what I went through; sure as hell not a happy sunny disposition.
Before I could make a remark, the red head decided to cut me off, which was kinda rude.
"Putting that behind us, he has a digivice and from what I can tell from this distance, it is a different model then ours."
"Can I talk now?"
This being the first time i actually talked a full sentence in front of people, they were quite surprised, but during the process they all seemed to blush, which confused me to no end
Why are they blushing?
What Daisuke didn't know was that his voice was soft, silky, and wasn't too low yet neither high at the same time; all in all, the trio in front of him could only do was blush upon hearing that angelic voice. Taking the first step, Kari was the one to break the silence.
"Uh...sure."
"I know we haven't really chatted before this and I know I don't know much about the situation at hand, but shouldn't we help this Tai person out?"
While speaking, I decided to get closer to them and to check out what was on the computer that they were examining. Finally reaching my goal I decided to look at the screen, while waiting for a reply, but before they could answer my question, a bright light filled the room once again and the next thing I knew I was in, what I believe, was the Digital World.
Huh, so that is what it feels like to be downloaded.
Getting the feeling that I should get out of the way, I did as my instincts told me to do and right before my eyes, the blonde boy and brunette girl were flying out of a TV and crashing into the ground.
Ok, now that was funny.
"You guys ok?"
"Peachy." rasped out the boy.
After untangling them, we started to move through a forest and while doing so, I came across a vending machine.
Why is there a vending machine in the middle of the forest?
Before I could say anything, a bunch of green slimes with purple dots, started to come out of the machine. As they passed all I could do was stare at them as they slithered by and from what I could hear, the boy and girl were laughing at my expression. When the slimes finally passed, we continued on with our journey and after a brief walk we came across a teen with a massive head of hair who I could only presume was this Tai person we were suppose to save. Along with him was a pig with bat wings as ears, a kat with gloves on her hands, and a small yellow dinosaur.
"TK!"
"Patamon! Boy am I glad to see you! hahahaha~"
"Hi guys! I'm glad that you all made it."
Awkward situation begins now.
Quick Tai PoV
Coming around the bend of trees I came across my sister Kari and TK; though, following them was a weird kid.
..Badump..
Before my sister could answer, the mysterious guy decided to talk.
"Greetings, my name is Motomiya Daisuke."
..Badump..Badump..
Hearing his voice, I couldn't fight the blush that appeared on my face, though following the blush, my heart started to speed up and I felt like butterflies were in my stomach. The way he tilted his head was cute and I couldn't stop my eyes from wondering down his body. When I saw that blush on his caramel skin, I couldn't stop the girlish 'kawaii' squeal from entering my thoughts.
There is no way I am falling for a kid like this.
Back to Daisuke's Pov
After giving my name, he, like the others, blushed when hearing my voice, but what the others didn't do was check me out and I couldn't fight the blush that crept onto my face. It wasn't till after awhile did we finally calm down and he greeted himself as Kamiya Taichi (Tai).
"That's right! We haven't properly introduced ourselves. My name is Kamiya Hikari (Kari) and I am his younger sister."
Following his female friend's lead, the blonde boy spoke next.
"My name is Taikashi Takeru (TK), nice to meet you."
Once everyone was introduced, we started our journey to a cave where Tai said he found a strange egg. As we walked, the kat, who introduced herself as Gatomon, started to tell us about how a human entered the digital world and was causing havoc for all the digimon. She told us that he was controlling others with these dark rings and with his dark digivice, was stopping all the digimon from digivolving. After almost being attacked by the kat when she saw my digivice, did I finally realize we were in the cave.
Time sure does fly by. Though, I already knew all this.
As I was mentally talking to myself, the others were trying to pull up this small egg that had a flame design on it with a weird symbol and horn on it. After awhile, it seemed as if no one could pull it up and when I looked at everyone else, they were staring at me.
If they couldn't pull it up then what makes them think I can? Oh well guess I should at least try.
Calling upon my enhanced strength, I got a good grasp on the egg before giving it a mighty pull, what I didn't know was that I didn't need this boost as the egg was easy to move, which resulted in the end with me flying off the small rock pedestal formation, and falling to the ground. As I rubbed my sore spot, I hoped that Pickmon was ok; though, looking up I came across a stream of orange light and from that light came a small blue/white figure. Before anyone could do something, the small creature jumped out of the light and started to circle me.
"Yay! Free at last! You moved the digi egg! You moved the digi egg! Hi! My name is Veemon, but you can call me Veemon!"
"Uh...hi...my name is Daisuke."
While Veemon kept talking away, my head was spinning.
This is way too much. I haven't had this much action since...Stop! Don't remind yourself. Wait till you are alone.
"...you moved the digi-egg of courage."
"Do what now?"
Before Veemon could reply, the cave started to tremble and before we knew it, this triceratops looking digimon came out from the top of the cave and started to attack us. As the digimon started to fight, me and the others started to high tail it out of there, but before I could get far, a giant boulder had blocked my only exit. Alone, I looked back and saw that the monster was coming closer.
What should I do now?
"Daisuke!"
Mom?
"Quickly pull out your claws and wings. Once you have them out, act like a drill and pierce that boulder, but make sure before you land to hide everything."
Doing as she said, I acted as a drill and dug through the large boulder, where on the other side was Veemon headbutting.
"Let's get out of here!"
"Davis! Hurry up and open the digi-egg!"
"I don't know what you're talking about!"
It was after a few minutes of running did we finally reach outside and to the edge of a small fall.
"That was close."
As I was recovering from my run, I was pushed by Veemon, as a large fire attack was came from behind.
"Daisuke you alright?" shouted a worried Tai; who was followed by TK.
Before I could respond, Monochromon, who was identified by TK earlier, jumped over us and started to charge towards Kari.
No! I won't let that poor girl be hurt!
Summoning up my enhanced speed, I became a blur and quickly dashed towards Monochromon; tackling the dangerous digimon down to the ground in the process.
"VEEMON! DIGIARMOR ENERGIZE!"
After a quick burst of light, a humanoid figure, with pieces of the egg over parts of it's body, acting as armor, replaced Veemon and called himself Flamedramon. Quickly getting out of the way, Flamedramon dived right into action and started to fight with the triceratops.
[Enter "Run Around" by Jason Radford]
Monochromon charged Flamedramon, who only stood there and when the enemy got closer, Flamedramon grabbed hold of the opposing digimon's face, where he lifted the dinosaur into the air and did a blackflip and made it land harshly onto the ground. Taking initiative, Flamedramon charged, while Monochromon fired fire blasts that were easily torn through Flamedramon's claws. Not liking its attack being easily destroyed, the dinosaur charged and flung my digimon into the air, where Flamedramon covered itself in flames and became a rocket and flew towards the dark ring that was wrapped around the enemies' torso; this caused the ring to shatter.
During the fight, Daisuke didn't realize that Tai kept switching from looking at the fight to Daisuke, and every time he looked the 'boy', he would blush, thinking that Daisuke looked hot when he had a face of determination on; of course he tried to deny all of this together.
After making sure that the hurt digimon was not badly injured, I watched Kari and TK send him off on his way. Staring at the sunset, I didn't see the others walking towards me.
"That was great Daisuke." came the cheery voice of Kari.
"You did well." said TK.
"It was great working with you Davis." came Veemon's voice.
This being the first time of being praised I didn't know how to handle it, so all I did was turn my back on them and remain silent; though, what Tai said next did make me falter a bit.
"I'm curious though as to how you ran that fast and actually tackled down that huge digimon."
Shit!
"It really is getting late. Sorry everyone, but I must be going."
With that said I calmly and swiftly walked away and made my way back to the TV, where I reentered the computer lab between a shocked purple haired girl, a small boy, and the red headed teen from before. Ignoring them, I walked out of the school and made my way towards home through the storm that arrived while we were gone.
It seems IT was right after all. I guess my time has started to run out.
"You okay?" came the sweet shy voice of Pickmon.
"I'm fine Sutaa. How about we get home faster and I make you some food?"
"Ok!"
