Yo readers how's it going?
Man the summer season is coming up and I'm ready for summer vacation!
Yanmei: The beach!
Rita: No school!
Lopmon: The sand!
Veemon: The food! Mostly the food!
Lunamon: Not to mention the delicous ice cream.
Masanori: And no homework to keep us back!
That's right guys! And with that, let's get this chapter rolling! This is a sort of filler chapter, the in-between story of my story. Can someone do the disclaimer and thanks?
Pawnchessmon: Well I guess since i haven't done it yet, thank you for all the reviews, favorites, and follows!
Kazumi: The author doesn't own digimon, but if she did, she would have all the cards on the Digimon Heroes App!
Prelude: The Origins
Saturo sipped his soda loudly as he typed on his computer. His desk was littered with a mix of homework and research. He had his digicell besided him, plugged into the computer. He was putting some new features inside his, updating it a bit.
Who knew that these things could get updated? This is most fascinated. He thought, smiling to himself. Ever since he gotten his digicell, he had been trying to break past the firewalls and see what made the device work. Every time he got close to the answer, a bright red screen would block him out.
Almost like someone doesn't want me to hack into these things. Not like I can hack into the Digital World and find out.
His gaze turned towards his bed where a white knight digimon slept. Pawnchessmon had yet to recover from his coma, looking almost lifeless. Saturo knew that it wasn't true since both Veemon and Lunamon assured him that digimon turned into data when they died. Still, he wondered if his partner would ever wake up.
"Well at least I can continue to help my friends from the sidelines. Even if he hasn't waken up, I can still support them." He told himself, waiting for the update to finish.
And then there was Rita. He wondered how and why she had gotten a different device than them. The Digi-Accelerator functioned better than a Digicell and was put on the user's wrist. Saturo thumbed through the papers on his desk as he brought out the sketch of the device. It's functions were similiar to the DigiCell except for a few extra buttons. Nothing too flashy, but he wondered how she would input digicode.
Either way, he couldn't ask her at the moment. Part of wished that Masanori and Kazumi weren't in dentention because of her. It wasn't like he was bored or anything, but he wished he had someone to talk to.
He clapsed hands together and watched his computer screen display the binary code for his DigiCell.
"What are you doing?"
Impmon turned around from what he was doing as Yoichi and Dorumon came from behind him. He grinned as he watched the dopey dragon waddle over to where he was. Yoichi crossed his arms and gave him a skeptical look.
"I ain't doin nothing that would rise suspicion. Keito told me to wait for her while she checked on Hotaru." He replied, scowling back at Yoichi.
"Hotaru is going to be okay, right Yo-chan?" Dorumon asked his partner, his eyes reminiscing that of a puppy.
"Sure she is Dorumon, she won't leave us just yet. She's too stubborn to die on us and she cares about us." He patted the dragon's head, making his tail wag. "So don't you worry."
"Okay Yo-chan, I won't worry about her!"
Impmon tried to hold back a snicker, but it slipped out. "Yo-chan?"
"I swear to the digi-gods I will murder you if you tell anyone!"
Keito looked at the sleeping figure of her friend. Her face was paler than usual, almost as if she could die at any moment. She reached for her small hand and squeezed it tightly.
"Hang in there kid, I can't lose another one of my little sisters." She whispered, tears threatening to come out of her eyes. She hated to think that so long ago she was traveling the Digital World with Naomi and Takeo, oblivious to the danger around them. They had been so happy back then, so very happy...
"You can see the whole world from up here!"
Ten year old Keito gasped as she grabbed six year old Naomi from falling off the edge of the cliffside. The two girls had finally came out of the underground temple to get some fresh air and sunlight. Naomi laughed as she spun around the cliff, her smile a wide long.
"Keito, when do you think we'll get our digimon partners? Gankoomon said we would get our partners soon!"
Keito smiled and patted her head. "I'm sure we'll get them soon. We just have to be patience."
The sound of a stone rolling caught their attention. Two digimon came out of the hole in the mountain. One was a young girl wearing a black dress with a white trim, black stockings, and a black cat headdress. The other was a smaller version of the girl, but wore a white dress with a pink trim, white stockings, and a white bunny headdress. Both of them smiled at the girls.
"Come along you two, Gankoomon has returned!" The black one said.
"He wants to talk with you three." The white one said. "If you have the time at least..." She whispered silently.
"Kay Sistermon Noir! And you too Sistermon Blanc! We're coming!" Naomi ran towards the female digimon, a look of happiness on her face. Keito shook her head and followed suit.
A young boy with dark blue hair slumped against the cave walls. His eyes were closed, his chest bobbing up and down. Besides him was a silver dragon with a long red cape, snoozing at his side. The boy was named Takeo and the dragon was his partner Huckmon. Both of them were being trained by the Sistermon while Gankoomon was traveling around the Digital World. Keito and Naomi had came afterwards, making them the only humans thus far in the Digital World.
Sudden movement made the duo open their eyes. The Sistermon had entered the temple with the girls. Takeo smiled and got up from his position. Huckmon followed suit.
"Hey girls, how was the outside?" Huckmon asked the girls.
"Fun!" Naomi replied as she patted his head. "I saw the whole Digital World!"
"THE WHOLE WORLD?" His eyes bugged out at this. "HOW DID YOU DO THAT?"
"Huckmon keep your voice down." Sistermon Noir chided. "You do know that your voice carries here."
Huckmon blushed slightly. "I'm sorry Sistermon...I forgot." He turned back to Naomi. "So what did you see?"
As the young girl talked with Huckmon and Sistermon Blanc, Keito walked over to Takeo.
"I heard Gankoomon was returning, are you excited to meet him again?" She asked him shyly.
"To be honest, I haven't known him long enough to get to miss him. Huckmon has told me a million of stories about him, but I'm really nervous." He placed his hands in his in his pocket. "I mean, he's a Royal Knight."
She nodded. "Don't be nervous Taki, you will do fine."
Takeo looked at her and felt his cheeks warm up. "Thanks Keito, I'm glad I met you."
Their conversation was cut short as the stone door opened again. A shining light flooded the room, making everyone's head turn.
"Welcome back sir." Sistermon Noir greeted, bowing politely. Sistermon Blanc bowed slightly too.
"Nice to see you again Gankoomon!" Huckmon exclaimed excitedly, running towards the door.
"I wanna meet him too!" Naomi followed him.
Keito turned back to Takeo and gestured towards the door. He gulped and fixed his messy hair. "Well here goes nothing."
"Thinking about the past life aren't we?"
Keito leapt a few inches in the air. Impmon sniggered to himself, Dorumon laughing with him. She covered her embarrassed face with her hands while Yoichi came behind her.
"You're worried about her. I can't blame you, I am worried too." He consoled her. Keito looked back at him, her memories of Takeo doing the same thing to her flashed in her mind.
"Yeah...I just...I don't want to lose another family member." She confided. "I know she isn't going to die, but I can't but think about another one who had lost her life in this accursed world! I won't let her die!"
Impmon nodded, knowing full and well what she was talking about. Dorumon walked towards her and rubbed his head on her arm.
"No more tears! I like it when you're happy and smiling! Bring back that smiling face!" He told her.
Keito wiped her tears and found herself grinning. Dorumon reminded her of Huckmon so much it hurt her heart. She patted his head.
"Thank you, my friend. You always have a way to make me smile."
They all faced the sleeping face of Hotaru, who was also smiling. Laylamon walked in and saw this scene and smiled herself.
"My, I didn't know you all cared so much." She teased, making all of them jump out of their skins. "I leave the room for one moment to spy on Easmon and I come back to you guys having a family moment."
"What is she doing now?" Keito asked curiously.
"Her plan? Well all I heard was that she's going to really mess up their minds. Tamper with all their memories."
"Tamper with their memories? Oh that won't end well for them." Yoichi commented.
Keito looked out of the window and clutched her heart.
Masanori, if you die, I won't let you rest in peace!
Keito: Hey why did you reveal part of my backstory? I didn't allow you to do that!
Sorry...I had to clear up some questions.
Saturo: And when will Pawnchessmon wake up?
I really don't know...*Smiles evilly* But I'm sure it'll be soon.
Impmon: So review, favorite, and follow!
Dorumon: Pretty please! *Puppy dog eyes*
