Digimon: Destiny Uncovered

They emerged from the shadows. . . no they were shadows themselves. They started towards me, backing me into a wall that I'm sure was not there seconds before. More shadows appeared, all their eyes glowing red, an evil red that pierced my thoughts and browsed through them like they were a computer shareware file. Their red eyes not lighting the cold darkness. One shadowed hand reached towards me, beckoning me. It was whispering something, I couldn't tell what, my ears were deaf to them, as always. The arm nearly grabbed me when....I woke up.
"That is the third time this week!" I said to no one but myself. "And now I've had that nightmare so many times, it's got me talking to myself."
I slid out from under the covers and stretched while looking at the clock.
"It's only one? Geez, at this rate I'll wake up a minute after I go to sleep tomorrow....."
I flipped on the computer and waited for it to start.
"I should probably do my Economics report....." And after that I'l cure cancer and solve world hunger and figure out a way to park Clinton's sex drive. "Right sure...."
I logged onto Yahoo! messenger and started to browse who was on. I probably should try to get back to sleep..... not that I ever can after that nightmare.....
I started to check my email and so, I gave up on messenger. Nobody important is ever on at this time anyways. I sent an email to my friend David out in Cali, and then I sent one to his like super-ultimate-best friend and probably my newest friend, Liana, who's out in San Diego. I'd actually never met either of them. I've actually never met any of my online friends. Most of the time they change screen names or I do and we never update each other on what was going on with the names, so we drifted apart. Liana and I were pretty good friends though I called her sometimes and we talk. I sent an email to Tara, out in Ireland, I always felt she was keeping something from me.....I don't know what though. Natalie was next on me email list, she lived out in Texas and lived the town over from my other friend Valerie. After that I emailed my best friend, Christy who lived in Canada, eh? Then, I emailed Kason who was Tara's best IRL friend. I emailed my other friend, Ryan, who was also in Canada. I didn't know how but, someway, I fell asleep at the computer.
The next day, it was raining. I mean all day. The sky was omnimisly dark too. I had the dream again when I fell asleep next to the computer. I had woken up 10 minutes before the bus was supposed to come. Luckily, I got ready in that time and had actually made it to school on time. All day, I was distracted by the dreams I'd been having. It was scary to have a recurring dream. Plus, the all around drearyness of the day didn't make it any better. Whenever I closed my eyes, the shadows were there looming just arms length away. Their red eyes weren't glowing as bright as they did in the dreams. I had made a theory of why that was: I was more perceptive to the occurances of the dream. They were in the consious, not the subconsious, so they didn't have the evilness they held in the nightmares, but, still, they were a frightening thing. School was boring as it always was. I skipped a detention I had and went home.
I got off the bus and walked to my house. I cut through the woods and stopped by the pond that was near my house. It was my quiet place to think. The rain had stopped coming down really fast and hard, it was replaced by a slow drizzle.
"I should talk to someone about those dreams........" I whispered to myself. "Maybe Christy......she might think somethings wrong with me then." I paused and thought about all my friends. "I'll talk to Tara... she'll understand." I thought about Tara. She was the heart of my little group of friends. When someone was feeling bad, Tara would make you feel better. And if Tara couldn't do it. I'd make you laugh to feel better. I skipped a rock across the pond.
"One, two, three, four, five, six......?" I follow the stone with my eyes and I looked across the pond for the first time. Someone was on the other side, staring at me. "What the........?" I ran along side the pond and crossed it very quickly, but I wasn't quick enough. I must've been blocked by a group of trees cause when I got to the other side, no one was there. I circled the small area. I stood in one place and turned around and around, but still I saw nobody. I backed up slowly and then...someone jumped me form above. Whoever it was, they held me flat against the ground, my face dug into the ground. The assilant took my left arm and brought it around and pressed it against my back slowly pressing it further up to my neck, then it suddenly stopped moving.
"Who are you kid?"
I groaned, I was completely dazed. I don't think I even knew who I was.
"Who are you?" He asked again.
"uh....eg...." I couldn't speak, I tried to clear my mind. But, it was all black. I started to see the shadows again. They slinked towards me, they were grinning. I couldn't tell how I knew that, I just knew. They knew they had me. I couldn't wake up. I was stuck they had me, there was no way out of it now. The red eyes were glowing wildly, growing brighter with each step they took. And then suddenly, they just stopped moving towards me. My eyes opened, only to see dirt.
"This is the last time I'll ask you, then I'll break your arm. Then, I'll ask you again." He spoke calmly.
"My name is Cody. What's it to you?" I tried to act tough, hopefully it worked.
"Oh, you think you're a tough one in the face of danger, huh?" He asked, slowly releasing my arm.
"No, not really. I usally run away." I said.
"What? Are you being a smart-alek?" He stood up and brushed himself off. I did the same thing.
"No, my name is Cody." I was purposely pissing him off, I was trying to get him preoccupied then I could try something. His face grew red with anger.
"Stop screwin' around kid. I got two more quetions for you ok?"
"Alrighty then."
"Do you know who I am?" He asked. That the first time I got a good look at his face. It looked familar and unrecognizable at the same time. His short, cropped brown hair looked like hundreds of other peoples' hair. The blue eyes seemed cold and distant, but warm and near. I didn't understand any of it either. He looked like no one and everyone. He was like a human chameleon.
"No, you look familar, but, I've never seen you before." I replied truthfully.
"Question three; do you know where I can get a better road map? The one I have is nearly useless." He asked sheepishly.
"Um......er...." The question caught me offguard, but it knocked him out of control of the conversation. "Try the 'Corner Store' in Wolfeboro."
"I'm afraid I must ask one last question; where is this 'Corner Store'?" I felt this guy's stupidity. I mean, how hard is it to figure out where the Corner Store is in Wolfeboro? The town is very small, everyone knows where it is!
"Uh.........try looking on the corner...........in Wolfeboro.......it's pretty selfexplanitory."
"AH! I see. Thank you!"
"Now! You can answer a question for me: Who are you?" I asked. I didn't feel safe.
"I am Kenny. One of many of Gennai's American counterparts." He said it as if it were an everyday thing. My jaw hung in the air, I quickly closed it though.
"Who put you up to this?" I asked getting angry. I know alot of kids at my school who would have done that to me.
"Nobody. Now hurry! We must get to safety." He spoke while looking around. He saw the lodge by the pond and he pointed to it. "It's not safe to be in the open. Go, go, go! Now, hurry!"
We ran to the lodge and he kicked the door open.
"Hey! You know you're gonna have to pay for that!" I screamed, most likely I'd be blamed for it and that was the last thing I needed. I kept an eye on him while we were in the lodge. I didn't trust him any further than I could throw him. But, of course if he wanted to kill me, he could've strangled me when he was holding me down. Still, I don't trust him.
"You don't trust me do you?" He asked.
"Gee, hmm.....you spy on me....attack me.....threaten to break my arm....um.....then say that you're Gennai's American counterpart."
"One of his counterparts in America. One of." He spoke while nodding softly.
"Oh, excuse me, one of his counterparts. Forgive me."
"Just listen, then you'll understand."
"Okay, nothing to lose but my sanity."
"It started a long..."
I held out my hand to silence him.
"Is this going to be a long flashback."
"Only if you keep talking. Anyways... it started wayback when the Japanese and American governments were having a 'dispute'."
"The Pearl Harbor thing...........and the war. Right?" I may hate school, but I know my history like the back of my hand.
"I see you are very informed." I beamed proudly. Not everyone thinks I'm smart.
"Unfortunately, you are very informed about misinformation." My smile faded.
"That never really happened. The governments, and by that I mean all the world governments, decided to cover up the truth about the Digital World. They didn't want the public to know that there was a world brimming with monsters capable of mass destruction."
"So, the whole thing was a cover up? Why? So people that are evil can't go there and try to cause trouble there? So people don't polute that planet too?" Something clicked in my mind. I watched as a small smile spread across his face. I snapped my fingers. "I got it! I understand! Major polution was just beganning! They probably started to estimate that.......uh...that the world would be more contaminated as each year passed! So, they govenments planned to take over the Digital World themselves! Wait..................stop it! You've got me believing this bull."
"It is not bull. But, you are a smart child. The choice was wise."
"What choice? What're you talking about?" I was suddenly very confused. He got me believing his story and then he started talking about a choice, he made me get a distrust for my country. I didn't understand.
"The governments didn't think about one thing though. The reason they were able to fool billions into believing that it was a war was that they knew alot of people didn't see any monsters. Some could, but they weren't enough to matter. The truth is............the Digital World and it's inhabitants are real!"
"How? It's an anime show! Next you'll say that the kids were real and all that stuff really happened." He nodded once. "You've got to be yankin' me!?"
"Nope. The governments use money from taxes to create shows and movies and books, stuff like that to make people believe that stuff is fake. The kids were real. They disappeared long ago. They lost faith in their country and ran off. You must believe the choice was already made. You are........." He stopped as he heard a huge pounding in the woods outside the lodge. "It's too late. It's here."
"What's here?" I screamed over the pounding. I looked out the window and screamed. A Digimon was breaking through the treeline. A felt a clothe material in my hand.
"Open it. It's yours. If we are to survive, you must accept it.."
"I believe you..........I do.....I believe...I do......." I stuttered.
"OH, now you believe me, great timing kid." A threw the door to the lodge open and we stepped outside just as the Digimon smashed the lodge.
"Soon I'll wake up...anytime soon I'll wake up.............please let me wake up soon..........please soon...."
"That's Mino.."
"I know! It's Minotaurmon! I watch the show you know! Anyways........his DarkSide Quake and Minotaur Tackle attacks are going to get us soon." I said, nearly reciting lines form the show. I opened the pouch and poured the contents into my hand. A small black rectangle fell into my hand. It had a small LCD screen on one side and a belt clip on the other side.
"You're yankin' me again Kenny." It suddenly glowed brightly, then a blue beam cut across the sky, making an incision in the clouds and then, without any warning, something fell from the sky and the opening closed.
"What was that?" I asked in disbelief.
"That.............was an opening to the Digiworld." He was amazed by it just as much as I was. People started to come outside, and as soon as that happened, the air was pierced by screams. I looked to were I dropped the rectangular Digivice and saw that the blue light had just vanished into it. But, that's not what surprised me. It was the Wormon that was standing next to the Digivice. "Cody!" It cried and jumped onto my chest. "I'm soooo glad I get to finally meet you! I've watched you from the Digiworld since I was a Leafmon! I've seen you grow up. I'm sooo glad I'm here with you!" I was smiling, then I remembered the Minotaurmon.
"Wormon, meeting and greeting later! Take care of that Minotaurmon! Um...." I felt so stupid saying what I was about to say but I said it anyways. "Wormon! Digivolve!" He started to glow green.
"Wormon...Digivolve to..........Stingmon!" He was standing on the ground next to me. I knew I was grinning like a dumbass, but I didn't care.
"Look Cody! I'm Stingmon! The champion form of Wormon! I can fly and strike enemies with my Spiking Strike attack!" He said.
"Yeah...........enough analyzing and more fighting! Protect us!"
"Okay!" He flew up into the air towards Minotaurmon and hit him head-on-head.
"I.......am........going crazy." I spoke in spaces so I'd hear what I was saying clearly.
Minotaurmon threw up his arms to fend off the attack but, he failed. Stingmon lifted him off the ground and tossed him down onto the ground. But, he got up quickly.
"DarkSide Quake." His righthand had a huge multi-jackhammer thing on the end of it and he was punching straight towards Stingmon. It his Stingmon and sent him flying into the air. Minotaurmon leapt after him. "Minotaur Tackle!" He headbutted Stingmon in the chest. But, Stingmon recovered and drew his wrists back. Dark pink lasers drew themselves out of Stingmon's wristsheaths.
"Spiking Strike!!!!!" There was an explosion of water and grass. After it cleared, Wormon was standing were Minotaurmon previously was.
"Way to go! I can't believe this you're real aren't you!? Oh, my god you are! I can't believe this!" I just kept repeating that over and over. I picked him up and hugged him tightly. "Oh thank you for saving me!" I clipped the rectangular Digivice to my pants.
"It is yours, Cody." That's all he said as he began to walk towards the woods. But, he stopped, although he didn't turn around. "Cody, you are not the only one. The burden is not yours alone. The burden is shared with the others like you. But, still you do have a burden yourself; you must search out the other kids. I cna't tell you all their names. Just one: Natalie. Find her and you can find the rest. The Digidestined are spread throughout the world. Find them. Save the worlds." He started to walk again.
"Wait!" I cried out.
"Yes?" He looked over his shoulder slightly, but still, he didn't turn.
"Why...why me?" That was all I could ask.
"You'll find out. It's a long road ahead. Take care you two." With that, he disappeared into the woods. I started to run after him but I stopped. Sirens rang in the distance, growing closer. Plus, I knew he answered all he could. I held Wormon in front of me and smiled.
"Let's go home." He nodded. I set him down and we walked towards my house on the other side of the smashed lodge, and down the hill. We were home.

R&R please? This is a revamped version of my old series. This one will actually be completed though! Please love it?
