Author's Notes: I'm going to be making a huge assumption about the Digimon Trading Card Game. I've been reading the rules and they're kind of confusing. The actual cards featuring Digimon in the American version have red, green and yellow shapes on the bottom of the card, telling its attacks and attributes. It looked very similar to the cards Rika used in episode 6, primarily Agumon's Frozen Wind and Snimon's Twin Sickle, with the red, green and yellow shapes and all. So I'm assuming that when one of the tamers is giving a new attack (temporary of course) to their Digimon, it's going to be one of the game cards featuring a Digimon in the American version. A possible example may be Gatomon's Lightning Claw or Myotismon's Grizzly Wing. They are on the Gatomon and Myotismon cards respectively in the American version, thus it can be a Modify card. If there are any Digimon card game experts who know better, let me know when you read this fic and I'll gladly acknowledge that. I plan to start using new cards by the fifth chapter so please make sure I don't make any mistakes! Thank you!! Holy moly, I shouldn't be going on like this.
Disclaimers: Digimon belongs to Fox, Saban and whoever else owns it. Star Trek belongs to Paramount. Don't sue!!!
Beyond The Other Side - V 1.4
"CALUMON!!!" Henry saw that Shurimon was dizzy thanks to the Terrier Tornado in his face. "Terriermon, get Calumon out of the way!!" The Digimon sprinted off to the battle area where Renamon was still holding her ground. Henry turned to Rika. "Rika, you have to hold Flamedramon until we get Calumon to safety!!"
She gritted her teeth. 'Okay, I have two choices. One is to ignore the kid, do what any self-respecting warrior and digital tactical genius would do and order their Digimon to dodge and counterattack when the enemy is in a bad position, especially after hitting an innocent target.' She looked at the diving Flamedramon and turned her gaze to the happy, little Digimon. 'Or use a Modify card to hold off the enemy while an innocent is rushed to safety...sometimes I disgust even myself.' "Renamon, use the frozen wind to stall Flamedramon while they get Calumon out of here!"
The fox Digimon was slightly stunned at her tamer's decision but nodded. "Digi Modify!! Agumon's Frozen Wind Activate!!!" Renamon leapt to face Flamedramon and fired a frozen wind at him. He started to slow down and eventually the two were at a stalemate. Terriermon used this to push Calumon out of the way and to safety. "Do you want to get killed or something?" asked the rabbit-eared Digimon.
"Terriermon!! Watch out!!!" He looked up thanks to Henry's warning to see Digmon's Gold Rush coming straight at him since it missed Guilmon. Henry's Digivice started to glow. "No...not again..." Yolei gave a startled yelp. "Is he...digivolving?" Cody looked at Henry. "Why would he not want his Digimon to digivolve?"
DIGIVOLUTION..... "Terriermon digivolved to...Gargomon!!!!!"
The attack was deflected thanks to a few blasts from Gargomon. "Don't start firing like crazy!!" Gargomon stared at Henry with a curious look. "I'm not crazy. I only fired to deflect those attacks." A look of relief came across Henry's face. "That's good." Rika stared in shock. 'This time he's in control!! I have to know the digivolution secret!'
"Come on, Shurimon! You have to get up!!" The ninja Digimon tried to shake the stars out but another blow hit him as Gargomon sent him flying outside. An explosion rocked the building as Renamon and Flamedramon are sent to the ground. They both got up, ready for more. Henry shouted at Takato. "I need the Training Grip card!!" Takato tossed the card to Henry. "Digi Modify!! Training Grip Activate!"
The grips appeared on Gargomon's ears. With one mighty push, he tossed them at Flamedramon, who became too tangled up to fight. "Hey, no fair!! You got those cards!!" yelled Davis. "Guilmon, let's disable Digmon with one good blast!!" Takato flipped out a card. "Digi Modify! Power Activate!!" Guilmon dived towards Digmon, who just got his drills back from the Gold Rush. "Pyro Sphere!!!" Digmon was blasted back. "Digmon!!"
"We should get out of here!!" Rika was about to argue but Henry's tone made it clear that there had been enough fighting. "Renamon, grab the little squirt and move out!!" Renamon moved over to where the energetic Digimon was and grabbed him before he could move. "You're coming with us, little one."
"Takato, Guilmon, get going! Gargomon, fire a burst shot to create enough dust for a smokescreen and then retreat!!" Moments later, the Digidestined were coughing up dust while the tamers escaped with Calamon. TK and Kari arrived just as the smoke cleared and everybody went back to their in-training forms. "I told you to wait, Davis!" Before Davis could argue, the D-terminal started beeping.
"Izzy's calling up a meeting for tomorrow to discuss a new theory about those kids. I say that we should go home and get some rest after tonight," stated Cody. The others gave simultaneous 'mm-hmm's before departing.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
"That was pretty fun! We should do it again sometime!" Calumon tried to move but Renamon kept a firm grip on him. Takato bent down to look Calumon right in the eye. "How did you get here?" Calumon scratched his head. "Well, you were fighting that little Digimon...all sorts of flashes happened. Then I was here. I had been having lots of fun, especially with making the baseball diamond! Now it's boring because I can't move and play any games!"
"Why don't you want to have your Digimon digivolve? Sure, it takes some time but the more they digivolve, the more control they gain." Once again, Gargomon is standing on his head to try to go back to being Terriermon. Guilmon was doing the same thing but kept falling over.
Henry glared at Rika. "What is it with you and your obsession about digivolution anyway?" Rika crossed her arms. "Because I want Renamon to be the best. Like me. So why don't you tell me what you did to make your little friend digivolve..." Henry remained silent.
"We should go back to the digital world." Both tamers gave Takato a surprised look about his suggestion. "Think about it. The digital world is Calumon's home. He's probably been looking for a way to get back...after having a lot of fun first."
The little Digimon poked his head up at the word 'fun'. "It'll also be a lot easier for us since we won't have to pretend our Digimon are stuffed animals. For you two, it's not a big deal but when you have to carry a heavy Digimon around, you'll understand. We may also have problems if people found out about Digimon. In the digital world, the only problem we have to deal with is avoiding the Digimon Emperor."
Rika snorted. "Digimon Emperor...he's just an emotional basketcase. He only pretends to be tough and that's through the Dark Spores." Henry raised an eyebrow. "That's probably an area you specialize at. And I thought you aren't the type that watches anime cartoons."
"I don't. My mother makes me spend some time with her. She's trying to understand me so every Thursday, she drags me down to the TV to watch Digimon. Quality mother-daughter time." Takato scratched his head. "Right...where was I? Oh, yeah. It'll also be easier to get by in the digital world. I'm sure we can find the resources we need to survive."
"What about sleeping bags or something? You're not seriously thinking of sleeping on the ground," said Rika. "Why? Do you need a sleeping bag for your beauty sleep or something?" asked Takato in a teasing tone. Rika shot Takato a poisonous glare.
"I'm not planning on becoming a criminal and stealing sleeping bags. Even though we are in another world, there's still law enforcement. We'll just have to rough it. Just like the original Digidestined! Now we just need a computer to open up a digital gate with our Digivices," murmured Henry. "Don't tell me that your new theory is that our Digivices can open the gateway from any computer. For your information, these are not D3's! Let's break in to the computer lab at the school. It should be closed by now."
Henry narrowed his eyes. "So what you're saying, Rika, is that we should go in the same way we came out?" "Precisely. The Digimon Emperor has his guard down by sleeping. We can go in without expecting a dozen Digimon waiting for us. As much as I would like to fight, I'm not in the best condition and neither is Renamon."
Takato grinned. "So you actually admit you're tired..." "Shut up, goggle boy."
* * * * * * * * * * * *
"Someone broke into the school!" There was a huge crowd at the door, looking at the destroyed doorknob. Police officers have went inside to survey the damage so classes were cancelled for the day. Davis looked at the broken door. "It has to be those kids that did this!!" Yolei gave a sly smile. "Gee, Sherlock, whatever gave you that clue?"
Izzy came up behind them. "I'll wager that they went into the computer lab to open the gate to the digital world." Cody clenched his fists. "We have to find them before they do any damage to the digital world!"
"I don't think they want to do anything to the digital world. I've been thinking why they've been acting so strangely and trying to ignore every question we throw at them." TK looked at Izzy. "Is this the theory you've been trying to tell us?"
"Yes, TK. When I was running to make some phone calls, our English Language teacher was in the AV room, watching one of his Star Trek tapes. Then it hit me. Once, he invited me to watch a Star Trek episode. He said I would probably like it. To make things easier, he programmed the TV to give Japanese subtitles. The episode was very intriguing but..." "Izzy!!" The boy stopped to see all the glares he was receiving.
"Sorry...there was something called the temporal prime directive that forbids any direct interaction between people of the future and people of the past. If information is given, the future may be changed significantly. My theory is that those kids come from the future." "WHAT?!?!?!?!?"
"Think about it. They obviously have superior Digivices and have cards to aid their Digimon in battle. To be totally honest, they can do a lot more for their Digimon in battle while all we do is provide the Digimon with a way to digivolve. Their rookie Digimon are more powerful than any of ours and they refused to tell us any information that they know. From this information, the most plausible explanation is that they come from an alternate timeline." Kari was the first to shake off the shocked expression that was etched across each face of the Digidestined. "So why did they come here to the past?"
"There are two possibilities. It could have been an accident and they aren't supposed to be here. Or they came back in order to complete a mission. If they are on a mission, then it's likely that the digital world is being taken over by the forces of darkness. It could be the Digimon Emperor or a new force that is simply too much for us to handle." TK swallowed nervously. "So what do we do with those kids?"
"First, we have to find them in the digital world. Hopefully, your D3s can pick up the signals on their Digivices. Once you locate them, we have to try diplomacy. From what I seen, the boys look nice but the girl seems to be the loose cannon." Yolei stroked her chin. "Now that I think about it, she was the one who challenged us to fight in the first place. How the heck did she become a member of the team?!?"
* * * * * * * * * * * *
"According to my data, this area was the last location of those new kids. Airdramon, circle around once more." The Digimon Emperor had been searching the digital world for his unknown variable for the past few hours. Wormmon could see the fatigue setting in his master's eyes.
"You know, master, you should really get some sleep. If you keep going on like this, you won't be alert enough to deal with any problems." The Emperor looked like he was about to hit Wormmon but he dropped his arm. "For once, you came up with a good idea. Airdramon...return to...base..."
In the distance, a light was flashing on and off. Wormmon could barely make it out. "Master, I just saw a weird light." The Emperor didn't respond for a few seconds. All Wormmon could make out was "Deal...with...it.." Wormmon thought about it for a moment and decided that Shogungekomon is the closest unit to the light. After all, the Emperor shouldn't be disturbed with something so minor. And the fact that Shogungekomon can understand how important a good night's sleep is worth.
A bit of jumping back and forth with the Digidestined checking out things in the following morning while Wormmon saw the light that gave away the tamers' position on that night. Anyway, I would like to have at least 10 new reviews before I post up V 1.5. That shouldn't be too hard, eh?
