"Enter the Flamedramon"
Please enjoy and review!
A mahogany, orange and black blur shot through the tree tops, barely disturbing the wild life in the forest as the figure searched the area around her.
The figure then came to a lake and dropped down on the water, standing on top of it, the water rippling under her feet.
Once she was standing on the lake, the figure, which revealed itself as a young teenage girl, was twisting and turning her body in fighting forms.
This girl had long mahogany hair that was tied up in the back into a ponytail while her thick bangs hung in her face; she had chocolate brown eyes and tanned skin.
She wore an orange tube top, black pants that cut off at her calves while a navy pouch was wrapped around her left thigh, and she wore black gloves and navy colored sandals while around her neck she had a red pendant that was in the shape of a spiral made out of jasper stone.
On her face she had three whisker marks on each cheek giving her a more vulpine appearance even though her face still had a bit of baby fat.
The girl is Daisuke Uzumaki and as of last month, she is 13 years old and has been in the dimension known as the Digital World for 6 years training and fighting off Digimon who would attack her.
On the second day she had arrived, a creature known as Flymon had attacked her and she was able to use the Rasengan to scare it off and she had run off to try and find someplace safe to live.
After a few days of wandering around, she met a kind Digimon called Electmon who allowed her to live in Primary Village with him and the baby Digimon.
Seeing all the adorbale creatures and the beautiful digi eggs amazed her as she then worked hard to try and get in tune with this new world.
She had even become friends with the Digimon who were partnered to a special group of humans called the Digidestineds.
The names of the Digimon are Agumon, Gatomon, Gabumon, Biyomon, Palmon, Patamon, Gomamon and Tentomon who told the girl she had arrived only days after the Digidestineds returned to their own world after they defeated the Dark Masters and Apocalymon.
Electmon and the other Digimon all helped the girl adapt to the Digital World and were amazed when they saw her training and even encouraged her to get stronger.
Gatomon even joined in on the girl's training when she was ten years old to see if Daisuke could dodge the punch of a Champion level Digimon and it helped enhance her speed and she was able to master the Hirashin as well as block Gatomon's punches.
In the present, Daisuke stopped her exercise when she then noticed the sky had darkened unexpectedly.
"Huh? What is this? It's not supposed to rain today." the Uzumaki heir said as she looked up at the sky.
Much to her surprise, she saw an Airdramon, the type of Digimon that had prevented her parents from saving her, was soaring through the sky.
What truely confused her was the strange figure she spotted standing on the dragon's head and the black collar she saw around the mighty beast's neck.
"Where is Airdramon going?" Daisuke asked.
Narrowing her eyes, the girl then jumped up into the trees and followed the dragon to see who and what the figure on top of Airdramon was.
She followed them to an area of the Digital World that had mountains and spotted various Digimon wandering around; Gatomon and Electmon were amoung them.
"Hmm? Hey, what's going on?" Gatomon asked with narrowed eyes as she stared at Airdramon.
"I'm not sure. Wait, is that a human?" Electmon gasped when he saw a male human jump off of Airdramon's head.
He had messy indigo colored hair and wore a blue body suit, black gloves and boots, wore a blue cape that resembled insect wings that were outlined in yellow and his eyes were covered by a pair of yellow glasses that had purple lens.
"Who are you?" Centarumon demanded.
"I am the Digimon Emperor!" the human announced.
This caused an uproar with the Digimon as they were in disbelief by what the boy had said.
"Silence! You will all now obey me. This land and everything in it belongs to me." the Digimon Emperor declared.
A green and purple caterpillar Digimon named Wormmon poked his head out from behind the Emperor's legs.
"Why should we?" Unimon demanded.
"You are not our master!" Centarumon yelled.
"This world isn't yours to claim!" one of the Gazimon growled.
As the Digimon all yelled, the Emperor smirked and gave a dark chuckle as black rings then lifted into the air and sailed over to the Digimon.
"What are those things?" Daisuke asked as she stayed hidden in the trees as she watched the scene.
"These are my dark rings. If you won't come to me willingly, then my little creations will ensure your loyalty." the Emperor laughed.
A dark ring then latched itself around a Gazimon's neck making him cry out as he tried to pry the ring off his neck, but then his eyes turned red.
"Are you okay?" a second Gazimon asked his friend.
Growling, the ringed Gazimon then slashed his claws at his friend making everyone gasp.
"Run!" Electmon cried as the rings flew down towards them.
Fearing for their safety, the Digimon all turned and ran off to escape the onslaught of dark rings, but some were not fast enough and the rings latched onto them.
Electmon gagged as a ring latched around his neck and a Unimon was downed when a dark ring attached itself around his neck.
Gatomon was running on all fours to escape the dark ring that was chasing after her and when it got close, her tail ring then glowed and it knocked the ring down.
"That was close." Gatomon panted.
Curious, the white and purple cat stared at her tail when she then heard a sound and turned to see Unimon coming towards her.
He attacked her and as he brought his hoof down on her tail, her ring was caught between the hoof and the ground as she rolled away, leaving her ring that gave her power.
Gatomon then took off into the forest to escape Unimon when suddenly, a streak of mahogany appeared and Daisuke kicked the winged horse into a tree.
"Daisuke!" Gatomon gasped in relief at the sight of the kunoichi.
"Come on! We need to get out of here!" Daisuke yelled as she and Gatomon started running off to look for shelter.
A dark ring then chased after them and Daisuke's hands flashed through her seals.
"Water style: water bullets!" she shouted as she then spat out the water bullets that shattered the ring.
"Nice work! Come on, maybe we can find Agumon and the others to get some help." Gatomon said as she ran off.
Glaring at the darkened sky and at the sounds of Digimon crying out, Daisuke took off after the cat to find the others.
(A few days later...)
Agumon, Patamon, Gatomon and Daisuke were hiding out in the wooden cabin that was built a few years ago for the Uzumaki to live in.
They were safe there since they were near a lake and there was a good amount of wind blowing in from the east that the kunoichi could easily manipulate to work as a weapon if she needed.
"What are we going to do now? All our friends are being taken by the Digimon Emperor." Patamon said sadly.
"I'm not sure. I tried to digivolve before, but then the Emperor held up this strange dark Digivice and it stopped me. No one can digivolve at all!" Agumon reported.
"If I could become Angewomon, he'd be done in already." Gatomon glared as she paced back and forth.
"Well, we need to figure something out. I'm all for attacking him all at once, but then he'll just use the Digimon he captured to shield himself. Tch. What a coward!" Daisuke said as she placed a dish filled with cooked fish on the wooden coffee table.
"I wish TK were here." Patamon said as he stared at the ground.
"Hey, yeah! Maybe if the Digidestineds were here, they could take out the Emperor!" Daisuke exclaimed.
"Yeah! If Tai were here, I could digivolve into Greymon! We need to find a way to get the others here." Agumon said as he cheered up along with Patamon.
"We could have a better chance at fighting then!" Patamon cheered.
"Um, guys. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we have no way of getting to them. The portal closed years ago during the eclipse and we don't know where Gennai is. We're at a loss here." Gatomon spoke up.
This deflated all their spirits.
"There has to be a way!" Daisuke insisted as her Uzumaki stuborness came out.
She wasn't just going to give up yet, not when she knew so many innocents were being hurt.
"You can't just expect us to give up without trying can you?" Patamon asked his feline friend.
"I'm not trying to be negative, but let's face it. It would take a miracle for us to see the others again." Gatomon frowned.
"Agumon!" a voice then called out.
This made the group of four stare at the door in shock when they heard the voice crying out from outside.
"That sounded like Tai." Agumon said.
"But it couldn't be. Could it?" Gatomon asked in disbelief.
"Agumon, where are you? Come on, buddy, answer me!" the voice rang out again.
"It is Tai! Tai!" Agumon yelled cheerfully as he ran out of the cabin.
Patamon, Gatomon and Daisuke all chased after the dinosaur to go find the human boy and find out how he got into the Digital World after all these years.
Running into the trees, the group found a 15 year old boy with tanned skin, wild brown hair and brown eyes was standing in the forest as he looked around curiously.
On top of his head were a pair of circular goggles and he wore a white button up shirt with a green blazer over it, gray pants and white shoes.
"Agumon!" the boy cried out.
"Tai!" Agumon cheered making the boy turn and smile when he saw his partner running over to him.
The two friends laughed as they hugged while the kunoichi and two other Digimon stood back to watch.
"Welcome back, Tai." Gatomon smiled.
"But how did you get here?" Patamon asked as the 15 year old stood up.
"The portal was supposed to be closed." the orange and beige colored guinea pig said.
"I'm not sure. Hey, wait. Who are you?" Tai asked when his eyes landed on the 13 year old.
"I'm Daisuke Uzumaki!" she chirped with a smile as she folded her arms behind her back.
"Daisuke fell into a vortex that pulled her into the Digital World. She's been staying with us ever since." Agumon explained.
"Oh, I see. Well, it's nice to meet you. I'm Tai Kamiya." the brunette smiled.
"Hey. So, how did ya get here anyway?" Daisuke asked.
"My Digivice. It was making all these strange sounds when I was in class. When I ran outside, there was all this light and I was pulled here. I thought maybe Gennai had something to do with it." Tai reasoned as he pulled out his Digivice.
"Weird." Daisuke commented when the device then started beeping and an orange dot was shown on the screen.
"Um, is it supposed to do that?" she asked as Tai held it closer to his face to look it over.
"It's getting a signal. I wonder what it means. Could one of the others have gotten in here too?" Tai mused with a frown on his face.
"Let's go check it out then. It'll be like old times." Agumon smiled at the boy.
"Right. Come on, guys." Tai smiled as he gestured for the group to follow him as he started jogging off.
Agumon, Patamon, Gatomon and Daisuke chased after him as they ran through the forest and the signal on the Digivice led the group to a cave.
"The signal's coming from in there." Tai noted.
"Let's go then." Daisuke said as she disapeared into the cave.
"Wait up!" Gatomon called as she rushed after the girl.
"We don't know what's in there. It could be dangerous." Tai said as he followed the two females.
"It's not like Daisuke and Gatomon can't handle it." Patamon giggled.
Once the group was inside the cave, they followed the signal on the Digivice to the end of the cave where they found a strange orange and red egg that was laid out in the center of the room.
There was a hole in the ceiling of the cave that shone down a light on top of the egg and they were able to see a silver blade poking out of it along with an eight pointed sun symbol painted on the shell.
"Look at that." Agumon said.
"It's got the Crest of Courage on it. Is it an egg?" Tai asked as he looked it over.
"I've never saw an egg with a spike in it." Agumon told him.
"It must've been rough on the chicken that laid it." Gatomon said.
"Yeah, no kidding." Daisuke grimaced.
"Let's have a closer look at this thing." Tai crouched down and placed his hands around it.
When his hands touched the egg, a bright orange light shone from it making everyone cover their eyes at the sight.
The light then faded and three orange orbs then lifted into the air and two of them shot off out of the cave while the last one remained.
"They look like fireflies. Really fast ones." Tai commented.
Just then, the last orb flashed over to Daisuke making her cry out in surprise when she caught the strange light.
"What the heck?" she asked as she opened her hands to see the glow had faded away to reveal an oval shaped device.
The strange device had a pure white body, sky blue grips and had a black antenna.
"What's this?" the girl asked.
"It looks like a Digivice. But that's strange. It's different from the ones we have." Tai frowned as he held up his own device.
"Ah! It looks just like the one the Digimon Emperor has!" Gatomon gasped.
"That's not a good thing." Daisuke yelped as she held the Digivice out away from her body.
"I wonder..." Tai mused as he looked over at the digi egg.
"Daisuke, I want you to try and move the egg." he declared.
"What?" she asked as she and the Digimon appeared to be stunned by this.
"Look, you got that Digivice for a reason. Maybe it's because you're meant to move the egg. Just trust me on this!" Tai said confidently.
Blinking in surprise at this, Daisuke nodded as she clipped her Digivice to her waist band and walked over to the digi egg and knelt down in front of it.
Gulping, the girl placed her hands around it and gave a sharp tug which made the girl stumble back when the egg popped off the ground.
"Whoa!" she gasped in surprise.
"She did it!" Agumon gasped.
The Uzumaki then stared down at the egg in surprise, unsure of how she should feel about this.
"There's a problem." Tai said as orange sparkles and light slowly floated up from the hole a foot away from the girl.
Everyone watched as a shadow formed and it soon became a blue creature that was curled up sleeping.
He opened up his eyes and looked into Daisuke's eyes and the girl felt this feeling go through her…like they were connected somehow.
He smiled and jumped out of the light as it faded away and hopped around the stunned kunoichi.
"YAHOO! Free at last! Free at last! You moved the digi egg." He cheered happily.
Stopping his celebration, the dragon stood in front of the girl as he held his hand out towards her with a friendly grin.
"My name's Veemon, but you can just call me Veemon." he greeted.
"I'm Daisuke." she said, still stunned.
"I've heard of Veemon. Supposedly, he's a fun loving, adventure seeking little Digimon that brings you good luck. But I thought he was just a legend." Agumon informed.
"Nope, I'm real all right and I've been waiting a very long time to meet cha, Daisuke!" Veemon said with barely contained excitement.
"Huh? Really?" Daisuke blinked in surprise at this.
"Yep, you're the one all right 'cause you were the only one to move the digi egg of Courage!" He said proudly.
"Weird." Tai breathed out.
Suddenly, the group heard yelling and gasped as they turned to the entrance of the cave to see a boy and girl who were both Daisuke's age running inside.
The girl had short brown hair that was brushed out of her face by a pink clip and wore a sleeveless turtle neck that was white and pink, had a silver camera wrapped around her neck, yellow shorts that was being held up by a brown belt and wore pink shoes.
The boy had blonde hair, peach toned skin and had azure blue eyes while he wore an off-white hatt, a yellow and green shirt, grayish green shorts and teal colored shoes.
"TK!" Patamon called.
"Kari!" Gatomon cried.
Screaming then alerted them to the Snimon that was chasing after the two humans making the group gasp.
"Kari!" Tai yelled.
Narrowing her eyes, Daisuke then pulled out her kunai and threw it at the two humans and she disappeared in a streak of mahogany.
Appearing beside the two humans, she grabbed her kunai and then grabbed their wrists in one hand as she used the other to throw the kunai.
Just as Snimon crashed down on the ground where the three humans were, they were then seen as a blur of mahogany, green and pink as they landed in front of Tai where the kunai had imbedded itself in the ground.
"That...was...awesome." Veemon grinned as he held the digi egg in his hands.
"What was that?" TK asked as he looked at the girl.
"Never mind. We got that bug to worry about now." Daisuke dismissed him as she glared at Snimon.
"Kari, are you okay?" Gatomon asked as she hugged her partner.
"I'm fine, Gatomon. Who is this?" Kari asked as she looked at Daisuke and Veemon.
"Long story." the cat said.
Snimon then roared as he turned his attention to the group of humans and Daisuke rushed at the insect making Tai, TK and Kari gasp in worry.
"Wait, what are you doing?" TK yelled.
Hands then flashed through hand signs and then Daisuke thrusted her palm forward, a gust of wind blasting out and knocked Snimon back.
"How is she doing that?" Tai asked as the humans stared in shock as the girl flips away from Snimon as he chased after her.
Just then, a Monochromon appeared and sent out his Volcanic Strike at the girl making her gasp as she dodges the attack.
"That's not good!" Veemon yelped.
"Agumon, you have to digivolve!" Tai said to his partner.
"Patamon, you too." TK encouraged.
"We can't. The Digimon Emperor's black Digivice stops us from digivolving." Agumon informed sadly.
"What?" Tai gasped.
"But how are we going to help her?" Kari asked as she watched Daisuke trying to dodge the two Digimon who are attacking her.
Narrowing his eyes, Veemon then charged forward and rammed his head into Monochromon's face, making the dinosaur growl in annoyance.
"Veemon!" Daisuke gasped as the dragon was thrown aside.
Snimon then came after the girl and she rolled to the side to dodge the sickle that the praying mantis stabbed into the earth.
Growling, the girl then flashed through some hand signs.
"Water style: water prison!" she yelled.
Water then rose from ground and trapped Snimon inside, pausing the creature and he stopped moving as he looked at his prison, unsure of how to escape.
Agumon then ran over to Monochromon and blasted his Pepper Breath at him to stun the beast while Patamon blasted out his Boom Bubble.
Gatomon then ran over and punched Monochromon in the face while Daisuke took this distraction to make her way over to Veemon to check on the injured dragon.
"Veemon, are you okay?" she asked as she helped the Digimon stand.
"I'm okay. I was just trying to make a good impression." Veemon smiled weakly.
"You're pretty brave, I'll give ya that. I'm impressed." Daisuke smiled making the dragon blush.
"We need to get out of here!" TK called as he, Tai and Kari ran over to the Uzumaki heir.
Monochromon then knocked Agumon, Patamon and Gatomon down as Snimon managed to break through the water prison.
"Daisuke, you need to use your courage to open up the digi egg." Veemon said as he handed the egg to the girl.
Feeling the strange pulse from the egg, Daisuke then looked around her at the humans and Digimon as Monochromon and Snimon stalked closer.
Narrowing her eyes at the sight, the girl then rose the digi egg into the air.
"All right, let's see how you guys like this. DIGI ARMOUR ENERGIZE!" she cried as orange lights shone from the egg making everyone turn to her.
Veemon was then covered in orange light and flames as he then started to transform.
"Veemon armour digivolve too...Flamedramon: the fire of Courage!"
Flamedramon was a taller version of Veemon, only he wore red armour and a helmet that had flame designs on them and had a blade on his head.
"Armour digivolve?" Tai asked.
"Whoa, what happened to him?" Daisuke asked as everyone just kept blinking with their jaws wide open.
"I am Flamedramon. As Veemon I used the digi egg of Courage to armour digivolve. My Fire Rocket attack will char broil the enemy like a well done steak." Flamedramon said.
Monochromon got back up and charged at Flamedramon, but he just stood in his place, waiting for it to come and held out his clawed hands, stopping him in his tracks and then threw the dinosaur over his head.
Monchromon snarled as he got back up and Flamedramon charged at him, the dinosaur using his Volcanic Strike, but Flamedramon started batting the flames away like they were flies.
Monochromon got annoyed and ran at him, using his horn to throw Flamedramon up in the air.
Snimon then flew at Flamedramon, but Daisuke jumped in and her hands flashed through seals.
"Wind style: great break through!" she called as she thrust her hands forward, sending Snimon's attack back at him.
It hit the ring around his neck and shattered, surprising everyone as Snimon then flew off, leaving the group.
"She freed him!" TK gasped.
Flamedramon's body then erupted in flames as he dived down towards Monochromon, aiming for the ring around the dinosaur.
"Barbeque that dark ring, Flamedramon!" Gatomon yelled.
He hit the dark ring, then flipped over to land on his feet away from Monochromon as the ring cracked and shattered.
Flamedramon glowed orange as he turned back to Veemon, the light shooting over to Daisuke and it turned into a new hand held computer.
"What's this?" she asked opening it up to show the digi egg on the screen.
"That's a good Monochromon." Kari cooed as she pet the dinosaur as he lay there exhausted.
(Later on...)
"Good bye Monocromon. Don't forget to write." Kari called as she waved him off.
"I can't believe the Digimon Emperor can turn such a nice Digimon into such a nasty creature." TK said frowning.
Veemon then walked over to his partner and shook hands with her as the two smiled at each other.
"Nice working with ya, Daisuke. Let's do it again sometime." Veemon said.
"Sure." she gave him a nod in agreement.
Tai and Agumon then walked over to the new duo of Courage with smiles on their faces, the original duo of Courage having faith in these two.
"Hey, guys. That armour digivolving is pretty cool." Tai said making Daisuke and Veemon break apart as they looked at him.
"Even though the rest of us can't digivove, I know that you new guys will be able to defeat the Digimon Emperor no problem." Agumon nodded.
"Yeah, leave it to me." Veemon grinned confidentally.
"Daisuke, I think you were really brave back there in that battle." Tai complimented.
"Yeah, how did you do those things?" TK asked as he and Kari walked over with Patamon and Gatomon.
"That's kind of a long story." Daisuke grinned sheepishly as she rubbed the back of her head.
"Good, the sun's going down. Now we can relax." Patamon said as the group watched the orange sun set behind the mountains, the sky turning pink and purple.
"Why's that?" TK asked.
"The Digimon Emperor never appears at night." Gatomon said.
"Excuse me, Tai, but it is getting late. Don't you guys need to go home soon?" Agumon asked.
"We sure do, but I'm not even sure if we can get home." Tai said.
"Hey, how did you two get here?" Daisuke asked the two humans her age.
"We got here through the computer. I bet we can go back home that way." Kari suggested.
"Then let's get going." Tai said as the group walked off through the forest to look for the computer.
"All right, Izzy, Cody's back. Now can we go to the Digital World now?" a female voice asked eagerly.
The group followed the voice and found the computer that was lying in the middle of the forest and there were three humans on the screen.
"The gate might be closed. It's not safe." the oldest of the group informed.
He had lightly tanned skin, onyx eyes and had bright red hair that reminded Daisuke of her mother's friend Gaara.
There was also a tall girl her age with long lavender colored hair and caramel brown eyes while she had a pair of large circular glasses perched on her nose.
"At least I got the brownies." the short boy with brown hair and dark forest green eyes said as he held out a container.
"Mm. This is the best thing I've ever tasted." the redhead said as they all started munching on the brownies.
"Hey, what does it mean when the light on that thing goes on?" the lavender haired girl asked.
"What thing?" the redhead asked.
"That thing on the computer. I just saw the light go on." the girl said looking at the computer and screamed in shock when she saw the group.
"So, how do you go back in?" Daisuke asked Tai, Kari and TK.
Suddenly, blue light shone from the computer and the three Digidestineds were then sucked into the screen making the Digimon and kunoichi stare in shock.
"You don't see that every day." Veemon commented.
Tai, Kari and TK all were then thrown out of the computer and landed on the three humans who were sitting in front of the computer and the group cried out in shock.
"Hey, get off, you're crushing my brownies!" the redhead cried out.
To be continued...
