Chapter 1: My first Digimon
(OST ON THE CHURCH HILL~ oka no ue no kyokai)
The young man stands in awe at this new digimon who resides secluded in the dark cave, but he just brushed it off because there is an important matter right now.
"any other rational guy would wonder why there sent into another world, so as for my question I ask, why am I here?" He question as he would like to know why he was sent here.
"Straight to the point I see, alright, I suppose I should explain the issue concerning the digital world." she said with sincerity
Then she suddenly slowly waves her hands like shes about to do of incantation.
Ashura notices that the hands are followed by golden auras that slowly follow her fingers like if she dipped her hands into a running creak.
And then finally she slowly lifts her hands above her head and a flash of light appears blinding Ashura's view for just one moment. The light so bright it illuminated that whole cave making the dark walls a lighter blue color.
(uggh!...its hard to see a little) he thought
He covers his eyes with his arms to avoid the blinding lights. He unconsciously turns his head but he sees Gatomon wear sunglasses and acts like shes been through this before.
(Has she always had those, if so; where did she keep them?) He wondered but will think about that later
While Gatomon thinks (if this keeps going any longer, hed by blind before this quest could begin)
The light glows thinner so Ashura lifts his hands down.
He sees a magic mirror shaped screen sith golden decoration tgat surrounds the edges. It starts to project an image. It shows a golden cup that radiates the whole screen.
He whispers to Gatomon "psst, why is that mirror displaying a fancy cup?" He questioned
She sighs "Haven't you figured it out yet?...No I guess you wouldn't... though it should be in your history books already."
What she said had little explanation until Sanzomon spoke
"Have you ever heard of the Holy Grail?" she asked
He stopped to think but realized what she said
"What...WHAT!...THE HOLY GRAIL?! THE BLESSED TOOL WITH INFINITE POWERS TO GIVE HAPINESS, YOUTH, AND..."
"Yeah yeah the very same." Gatomon rudely interrupted
Sanzomon chuckles "Yes but this grail is far different from its original model."
"What do you mean?" He questioned
"Have you ever wondered what happened to the famous holy tool?"
"I have not...until you just told me." He answered
"Well it happened about the era you call the time of britain." She starts to explain. As he and Gatomon sat down.
She starts to clear out her throat and explains
"When a group of people created a device meant to ease their subjects and end the fighting. A device that can create whatever their hearts desired. Eventually they used it to end there silly war. But that was only the beginning.
"How come?" He questioned realizing that the story could have turned for the worst.
" The creators of the grail knew that it was only a matter of time before an enemy would hear of its power and they were not wrong. Soon after, more invaders attempted to seek the grail for there own selfish needs. But eventually this came to a stop. One day someone wished the grail off the face of the earth, but the wisher was not specific on how it should disappear."
He was suprised by the answer "Are you saying that the grail ended up here?"
"Well not in one piece..." she smiled a bit
"Let me guess, it broke apart during the ride here?"
"Correct" she simply said
He likes it when hes right at times. But he almost forgot the important question. Seriously the why does he kept forgetting? "But what does this have to do with me?"
"Simple Ashura, you like many before you have been chosen to participate in the race for the Holy Grail." she said in a casual way like its something to brush off
"Wait Wha...?" He tilts his head "Also what do you mean many before me?"
"Oh I almost forgot. In the digital world, theres a race against time to obtain the grail. And once every fifty years, seven human participates are chosen each time for the grail shows its form on the digital world with swven digimon as there guides.
(Woah so that means that there are random people with digimon here right now searching for the thing by now. Hmm...does that mean...) He looks at Gatomon at the wonder of a chance that...
Sanzomon shakes her head "No Gatomon is not one of the seven digimon chosen. She is assigned to keep track of the event of the grail and its progress."
( Darn... it would have been cool to have Gatomon as a guardian)
"But... I think its time for you to have your guardian."
he felt suprised but excited with the realizationon of what was about to happen"Woah Really how do I get one?"
"Simple... hold out your hands" she said
But for Ashura it was odd. He knew that there are small digimon but a hand size wouldn't do much for something important like the holy grail.
But he decided to think about it later. He walks closer to her and held out his hands.
Then a bright lights glows around his hand, forcing him to closes his eyes and for some reason his hand starts to burn. (aghh!...what is this burning sensation?) And then he feels something dripping... (I hope thats sweat...I may need to see the doctor if theres something wrong.)
The light dies down so he opens his eyes, waiting to see...
"A...digiegg" a oversized yellow egg with orange spots. To be honest, he was a little disappointed right now.
"It will grow in time, now that is all the time I have, Gatomon will explain the rest...until we meet once more" she says and she makes her exit in a flashing light. Blinding Ashura once more.
He turns to Gatomon, "Does she always do fancy entrances and exits with a flash of light?"
"Pretty much. Lets go."
(OST END)
Moments later: outside the dungeon
The two characters have finally exited to where the sun rised. Gatomon gives Ashura a sachel to help carry the egg.
Right now the are on a trail that leads to where they head back. "So what is left to explain?"
"Oh not much"she says sarcasticly "After your digimon hatches, theres this certain area that you must go to train your digimon if you ever want to win the battle for the grail."
"And that would be...?" He questioned, waiting for her answer
"Sanzomon calls it the Digimon Dungeon. Or Digi-Dungeon for short."
"Digi-Dungeon? Ivee never heard of that before" he asked In fact there was no recollection of something called a Digi-Dungeon in the show before.
"How could you, its not something thats popular, its a recent subject, ordered by the higher ups or deity level digimon decided for young digimon to train and to pent up there anger or stress." Apparently even digimon need a stress relief or something new." Plus in the dungeon, there are even simiulations of non-real digimon so the digimon that arrive wouldn't have to hold back."
"Okay thats pretty cool." He says and soon hopes to see his digimon hatch and xheck out the dungeon soon. "So how do I get back home?"
"Hmm...Oh! Right! Well..."she takes out a envelope from her back and shows it "Grab on to this"
He did as he was told and grabbed it.
"So...what happens no...WOAHHH!" he gest interrupted as a the envelope summons a portal above him. It looks similar to the exact portal that sent him in the digital world. The portal starts the pull him inside it while Gatomon later jumps in a minute after he got pull in.
Human World time passed unknown
He slowly stirrs as he opens his eyes. The portal sent him directly in his apartment.
Human World: Ashura's Apartment
(OST End of the reminiscence~Tsuioku no kanata)
He looks to see the envelope on his desk (Well at least I know how to go back to the digital world. It could be useful if I ever want to unwind.)
He decides to prepare dinner until he hears his doorbell ring.
He walks up to the door and looks through his hole. Through the door he sees a a girl. He gasps in shock and dusts himself and checks his collar. So he opens the door.
It opens to reveal a young beautiful girl who is the same age as him. She has short purple hair, and teal blue eyes, with a purple pancho and white silk dress which has tight sleeves that reach up to her fingers.
She speaks in a soft gentle voice."Good evening, you must be one of new tennants here, My name is Anna De Tristain and I own this building I have come to welcome you in open arms and to offer you a meal."
He lets her in the room and accepts her gift "Gosh thanks for the hospitality " he holds it from her hands and takes it "what is it?" He wonders
"It's something I that my family made up." She said as she insists to open the dish revealing a unique form of soup "We like to call it sheep soup angel"
(what a unique name)
She brushes her hair and starts to walk away "Well I better leave and let you tend to what it is that you do."she says and turns her head back "Welcome to the Tristain building"
"Okay see you later."he replies as she closes the door. Its nice to see people like her in real life. (Now where was I?)
"So who was that?" Said a familiar voice
"Oh someone who owns the building."
"So whens dinner?"
(Now I remember, I was suppose to...)
"HOW DID YOU GET HERE?!" He said looking at Gatomon sitting on his bed while holding his digiegg
"I suppose I should tell you now that I'm here." She said as she strectched and yawned "I forgot to tell you that Digimon who are affiliated with the grail, get to travel between worlds."
"How could you miss that fact?!"
"It slipped my mind don't have a cow." She said as she pick her ears
Sigh hes too tired to care as he has to prepare for dinner
"So again, whens dinner?" She questioned
"You want to eat here?" He asked
"Yes" she said "Thats why I asked." She said
"Well Anna gave me this special soup for me to try out, so would you like to give it a try?" He offered her a try. As she took a sip. She stops for a moment and reacts "Wow! What a cook! Why don't you marry this girl!" She yells as she grabs his shirt shaken it."Is it really that good?" He said as he splits the soup for the both of them. He tries a sip too..."Oh my gosh..."
He understood why Gatomon reacted. Also that he tasted a little fish which must have caught her attention.
