The Begining
Chapter 2: Through the Portal
Gennai stared at the swirling mass of light and color before him. It was the portal that would lead him into the Real World, so that he and the others could search for digi-compatable humans to be their digidestined. He turned to the others.
"Ready?" They all nodded. Gennai threw aside any doubts he had and led the way into the unknown. He felt his body begin to pixelate and draw spread out amongst the portal, mixing with the pixels of the others. It was a very...unique experience. For one he could "read" the minds of the others, and he was sure they were reading his mind as well. It was like they were one, Gennai had gone blind and deaf, because his eyes and ears were no longer attached to him. As enlightening as the experience was, it was over in a few seconds. His body was reformatted for travel in the physical world.
There was a bright flash oh white that, then darkness. The digital guardians slowly opened their eyes and found themselves lying flat on their backs, staring up at the midnight sky. And the stars.
"Look at them," Lucia marveled, staring up at the sky. "They're so...beautiful." Gennai smiled slightly as he pushed himself to his feet, then turned and helped Silfa and Kiron to their feet.
"Okay guys, go invisible" Xerzes whispered, as he faded from view. Slowly the other eight followed suit. Then they took to the sky, gliding over the sleeping city like a pack of phantoms.
No one realized they hadn't closed the portal.
Meanwhile in the digital world...
Taron and Dande, the twins of prophecy, sat cross-legged on the floor, facing each other while thick incense circled them. The hoods on their ceremonial robes hid their faces from view. Giving them a very eerie visage.
Zethro wasn't intimidated, after all he knew Taron and Dande very well, and when they weren't in a trance like this they were very un-intimidating.
The two young men breathed in the trance inducing incense and focused their minds on the future.
Suddenly, it was if they were floating outside their own bodies, their minds linked. They were witnessing the future.
They saw the digidestined that even now were being chosen, their faces hidden by shadows. The eight of them were fighting horrible enemy after horrible enemy. Each time they defeated one, another one would pop up in it's place
Wait a minute, eight? Where was the ninth one?
"We must move forward," Taron said within their shared consciousness
"Yes," Dande responded. "Forward, three years."
Time began to speed up, like a VCR on fast forward. Three years in only a few seconds.
They saw midnight black obelisks dotting the landscape, where they shouldn't be. Taron and Dande felt their minds being drawn to a particular point on the landscape. Not being ones to question the proddings of fate, the allowed themselves to be pulled over.
They witnessed, as the floated unseen in the sky. The digidestined with the power of Courage, and his digimon. As the two watched his digimon tried to digivolve into the Champion stage, but for some reason he couldn't.
"It's the Obelisks" Taron said, looking over at them
"Yes they must be able to stop the digivolving process."
"We must tell the others"
Back in the real world.
Gennai cursed himself for his stupidity, how could he have not closed the portal? Now there was a freak Parrotmon attacking the city they had entered. It was his fault. They had to do something. And fast.
Wait a minute, Gennai muttered to himself. He could sense another digital entity in the vecinity. he focused. Another digimon...Rookie Level, Data type, an Agumon?
He and the others raced to where the Parrotmon was wreaking the city. Granoir suddenly jerked to a stop, the others turned to look at him.
His light blue eyes were searching the windows of the apartment building.
"What is it?" Celine asked him, looking in the direction of his gaze.
"Courage energy, I can feel it nearby." He suddenly peeled away towards the apartment building he had been searching.
"There!' He shouted triumphantly, pointing at a balcony where two small children were watching Parrotmon wreak havoc.
"That girl," Lucia whispered staring at the boy's sister. "She has light energy."
Suddenly, the others began to notice it as well, crest energy abounded in the particular building. Knowledge, Reliability, Sincerity, Courage, Friendship, Hope, Light and Love. There was a child for each of them in that very building. All, but Kindness.
"look like today's not my lucky day huh?" Xerzes said with a grin. He would keep looking.
Suddenly the eight remaining guardians noticed a surge of energy, coming from each of the kids, and focusing on the Agumon Gennai had noticed earlier.
"AGUMON DIGIVOLVE TOO....GREYMON!" Unbelievable, they had managed to digivolve that digimon, without even meaning too.
Gennai watched as the two digimon went at it, He thought for sure the Parrotmon would win out, it being an ultimate and Greymon a champion level. But no. With the power of the crests backing him up, Greymon emerged victorious.
"We got what we came for here guys," Gallin said, "Let's go." With that he opened up the portal and the eight of them, plus the two digimon traveled back to the digiworld. Gennai left a beacon so that Xerzes could return when he was ready.
The eight of them got to work creating the digimon partners for the digidestined. They sat inside a glass case while they fed data into them. Each had a digivice attached to it. They had also created a crest for each of the digidestined.
Xerzes burst into the room panting and gasping for air. "Something...has...happened." He gasped.
"What is it?" Kairo wondered as Gallin and Granoir supported the Bearer of Kindness on their shoulders.
"Dark seed, into the Child of Kindness. They have him!" Gennai shuddered. He knew what that meant. The child of Kindness, would soon be working for evil.
As if to confirm Gennai's suspicions, the egg with Kindness's digimon suddenly vanished in a puff of smoke. Gennai heard Silfa swear under her breath.
Zethro came into the room then, looking very grave. "There is another problem."
"What now?" Celine wondered.
"It seems that, it about nine earth years' time a young boy, quite possibly the child of Kindness, will enter the digital world to conquer it. He will erect black spires which will make it impossible for a digimon to digivolve."
"Then," Celine said with downcast eyes. "all is lost."
Gennai wasn't ready to give up yet. he racked his brains trying to think there had to be a solution. Suddenly, he had it.
"Kairo, how many of the digimon have you finished programming?"
"All but the one's for Hope and Light."
"Good, program them to be able to Armor Digivolve."
"Two? That won't be enough!" Silfa said.
"Exactly, Kiron, run a scan of the digiworld for rookie level digimon who can Armor Digivolve." The young Hope child set to work on the computers.
"Pray we find enough" Gennai muttered, then he turned to the rest of them "We're going to need Digimentals." the other Seven nodded
