The ninth child- but not a Digi-destined!
As you have seen from the title this is about another child in the Digiworld who is not a Digidestined. Hope you enjoy. This is my first Digimon story and my second overall

"Dinnertime" The call ran through the orphanage P.A system accompanying the loud ringing noise. The kids who were scattered around the gardens and the big manor house ran towards the central hall in which their food would be served. The orphanage housed about two hundred children ranging from four to eighteen. The sexes were just about equal; they're being one hundred and ten girls. Susan looked up from her sketchpad. She was on the lawn drawing, though many people didn't count them as drawings as she was only eight years old. She sighed. Already almost everyone had disappeared from the lawn. She wasn't that hungry but she had to make at least a small appearance at dinner or the attendants would get worried. As she walked up the lawn she stared at the house which was now her home. It seemed that it had originally a country mansion with huge gardens and estates stretching around the country. But in this modern day and age the cost of running it had proved to be too expensive. So now the Government owned it and they had made it into a county orphanage. The orphanage had the use of the house and one lawn while the rest had been sold off. A computer factory was being built near the orphanage. When Susan looked from the staircase window she could see that the building was practically finished. In front of her loomed a pair of French windows. As she climbed through these she left the peaceful surroundings behind her and entered into a world of noise and smells. The room had been a drawing room but the wall had been knocked though to connect the drawing room and one of the studies. It had been remade into a cantine. At the far wall was a long queue, which she joined the end of. The queue was made up of twelve year olds and younger. The older kids were lined up on the opposite wall. The really young kids had already had dinner an hour or two before. Once you were six you had to start lining up in the queue. It took five minutes waiting before she got to the front of the queue. The cook was about fifty with slabs of fat on her face and her body. On the table in front of her where three metal cylinders. When Susan put out her bowl she dropped a ladle of brown liquid into it and some lumpy wet potatoes. She strolled over to where the younger kids were eating and took her designated seat. On her left was a girl about ten and on her right a twelve-year-old boy. Both were talking to friends beside them and no one said a word to her. It wasn't that she was an outcast or a loner. People just didn't really notice her. She had been transferred here three years before and in that time she had, had three or four conversations with the other children. It was a mix between her being shy and not very outgoing and the other children passing her over for better comrades. She didn't really mind but sometimes she felt quite lonely. Not feeling very hungry she eat little and was one of the first to leave. She walked out into the garden and looked at the sunset. Since she had started to think properly she knew that she was different. Her intellect had bounded ahead of her classmates, but this was rarely noticed, as she didn't talk that much in class. She was also very quick and strong but again she looked slight and was never picked for P.E in the school near the orphanage. Near the lawn was a yew maze. Officially it belonged to the Computer Company but as it still stood it was regularly used by children. In a couple of hours it would be a prime place where boys and girls, who were brave enough to sneak from their dorms would meet up. But at the moment it was empty. As Susan walked through the maze she began to feel calm. It was this calmness that was her undoing. Though it wasn't dark she didn't notice the three men hidden in a shadow. As she walked past they jumped out at her grabbing at her arms. In a panic she swung her fists at them. She was shocked when the two that she had hit reeled back into tree's hitting their heads against branches. The third tried to grab her shoulders but mechanically her brain made her duck and ram her head into his stomach. This man also collapsed onto the ground. She stared open mouthed at the three men in front of her. They were from the Computer Company, but she wasn't thinking at the moment. She stared at her hands. How could they be capable of such violence? She ran out of the maze her mind clouded not seeing where she was going. People were coming out of the canteen. It was then that she stopped. She couldn't go into the orphanage now. She would have to wait another hour. Turning yet again she retrieved her art pad and walked her way over to a patch of grass. Lying down she pretended to draw but really trying to waste time. As the time passed she calmed down and began to think clearly about what had happened. She had always knew that she was powerful but by that much? She would have to be more careful. As usual she went to sleep that evening without saying a word to anyone but her dreams were mysterious. Strange creatures with mystical powers, who she didn't recognise.
The eight digi-destined were camped in a deep forest. It had been ten days previous that they had defeated Myotismon in the human world. Since they had returned they had heard about the new enemy who was attacking the Digital World or as much as the good Digimon were willing to tell them. They had learnt very little about the new evil, except that all the Digimon large or small were scared of him. He had taken over after Myotismon had attacked the human world taking out Myotismon's cronies left in the Digital World. Overall however Tai and Matt were not scared. Their partners had just Digivolved to the Mega level and they were sure that nothing could defeat the both of them. Anyway all of the other six had Digimon at their Ultimate level. "This will be a walkover!" Tai shouted. Matt stared at him doubtfully from the campfire he was preparing. Tai could be too confident sometimes, he thought. Beside him Agumon and Gabumon finished lighting the fire. Izzy and Tentamon were both staring over Izzy's computer. They were staring at a map of the Digital world and were zooming in on different places. Mimi, Joe, and Sora were gathering firewood and food from the forest to no end of complaining. The two of the most temperamental of all the Digi-Destined and Sora was needed as a go-between. "How can I be expected to go so near trees and plants? I have allergies you know. Why did we have to come back here? I have study for school!" On Sora's other side Mimi was also complaining. "I have soft skin you know. Manual labor causes calluses on my hands. And my hair as well. Its going to be filled the branches and leaves and stuff." Behind them walked their Digimon partners Gomamon and Palmon. "I wonder why Joe complains so much?" "He's probably sensitive like Mimi" Above them in the sky Biomon called down to Sora. "Turn to your right a bit I think there are some vending machine's." Mimi dropped her load of firewood and sprinted off to the clearing on the right. Sora and Joe followed her while Palmon lifted Mimi's bundle. T.K and Kari, the two youngest of the Digi-Destined, and their Digimon Patamon and Gatomon were by the river fishing. The two children were using rods while Gatomon was using her paws to dip in the water and strike at the fish pulling them up onto the shore. Patamon was flying above the river diving down every so often to strike at a fish. T.K turned to Patamon "You don't seem to be catching anything. Why don't you dive down into the water and swim for fish?" "I'm not getting myself wet! You can you go in" "No way you go in" T.K and then Patamon then proceeded to have a water fight. Kari and Gatomon edged out of their line of fire. Gatomon's eyes narrowed as she stared at the flying water. "Boys are really silly. They'll scare away the fish." Kari also looked at them. "Tai's like that also, always trying to show off." Patamon managed to dive bomb T.K from behind hitting him into the stream. T.K sunk under the water and disappeared from sight. Getting worried Patamon flew over. Suddenly T.K jumped out splashing a wave of water towards his flying friend. Patamon arched up missing all but a small amount of water. The majority of this came down onto the bank splashing both the girl and the cat. There was a shocked silence as both T.K and Patamon stared at the two figures in front of them. Gatomon's face turned up eyes becoming slits. As quick as a flash she jumped scratching both T.K and Patamon. She didn't use her special attack Lighting Claw but she did draw blood. She landed beside glaring into their eyes. In an icy tone she told them "Never, ever make me wet again. Do you understand?" Her eyes, her tone, and the scratch were too much for little T.K. He ran off crying, Patamon following behind. Kari walked up to Gatomon who had started to clean herself. "I don't think that, that was a very nice thing to do Gatomon." She said looking into her Digimon's face. "Those boys needed to learn to respect us." "I don't know Gatomon." She looked worried "I don't think Matt's going to think the same way." They picked up their catch and made their way back to camp. Unknown to them their movements were being followed by three pairs of eyes.
"Can you explain yourself Miss, eh…" "Suiseisein, Mrs. Roberts," "I'm perfectly aware what your name is. Will you now answer my question?" Mrs. Roberts, who was the matron of the orphanage, looked down from her chair on the child in front of her. Like many of the other staff she rarely noticed the small eight-year-old who didn't speak out. She was small for her age, with thick black hair, which tumbled down her back into a ponytail. Her eyes were a strange bright green color but this was the only slightly strange part of her appearance. She was wearing green shorts and a green tee shirt and her face was completely blank. Behind Susan were the three men who she had met the night before and one other who was in a suit. They had come early in the morning and had spent half an hour in a meeting with Mrs. Roberts. She had come out of it looking for a specific child. All the girls twelve or under were lined up in the conservatory. No one except Susan knew why they were lined up and she wasn't sure why they were making such a fuss. After a couple of minutes she had been recognized and taken into what had been another study but was now Mrs. Roberts office. As it was the summer and there was no school, the rest of the kids went back outside. Susan addressed herself to Mrs. Roberts. "I was going for a walk in the yew maze when those three men attacked me. I defended myself." "What were you doing in the maze? You know that it is out of bounds." The man in the suit spoke suddenly "It doesn't matter why she was there. What does matter is that she left my men unconscious. Children have been messing around in my property for too long and now they are attacking my men! I won't stand for this. Your children will have to learn some discipline. I going to have to talk with the council and the police." "Are you sure that there is not something we could do? The girl could do some manual labor for you." "I was planning on making her do that anyway. She can come around in an hour." This statement clearly annoyed Mrs. Roberts but she held her tongue. The four men left a couple of minutes later. Mrs. Roberts then turned the vent of her anger on Susan. Susan weathered the storm well. After a couple of minutes she stopped listening completely and concentrated on looking around the room. It was large and spacious and was very well furnished. She was living in relative comfort. She was brought back to reality with a shock. "Are you listening to me?" "Yes Mrs. Roberts." "How did you injure those men?" "I was taught a little self-defense at the last place I stayed." "I would have thought better of you. Well you're going to get your punishment over there and over here. You will spend all your time either working or grounded in your dormitory. For the nest two months you will not be allowed on any trips either. Is this clear?" Susan nodded again. Throughout the whole incident she had remained expressionless. She could see that it had unnerved Mrs. Roberts. She was used to people being scared of her especially people below thirteen. It was a tiny victory out all that had happened. She walked out of the office and outside. There were three buses lined up on the road. Most of the children were lining up to get on them. She sighed. She was getting a lot of punishment for very little, buts that's life she thought. She was walking down the orphanage drive- she would have to go to the Computer Company the proper way, up their drive. It was as she turned up the gravel drive that the headache started. It was a sharp pain that seemed to engulf her brain. Her vision became blurred and she fell to her knee's clutching her head. It lasted a couple of minutes before subduing. She stood up shakily and her vision came back but the headache was still there. It wasn't as painful as it had been before but it still pounded in her head. She thought about going back for a few moments but then decided it would be better to push on. It was probably just a migraine or something she thought.
Joe, Izzy, and Mimi and their Digimon watched the fight from their sleeping bags. After T.K and Patamon had come back scratched Matt had got himself into a temper. He still didn't trust Gatomon, as she had worked for Myotismon in the past and Kari was unknown to him as she hadn't been one of the original seven. Tai started to argue with him immediately partly because Kari was his sister and partly that he loved to argue with Matt. Their fight had lasted two hours already and they were still going strong. Sora was trying to stop them fighting but was not having much luck. The two younger members to whom which the matter concerned had already made up and Gatomon had apologized to T.K and Patamon. All four were fast asleep by this point. "You call yourself the leader and you can't even keep your sister under control!" "You're one to talk. Your brother was teasing Gatomon, he got what he deserved." "I'm not staying here to listen to this! T.K we're leaving." T.K lifted his head sleepily. He felt really tired and he didn't want to leave the safety of the others but if his brother knew best? He followed his brother out of the clearing. Sora without a word to Tai or the others sprinted after him with Joe following behind. Sora went so she could try and convince Matt to turn around and Joe went off, as he preferred Matt to Tai. Izzy and Mimi were slow to get up and Tai had to wake up his sister. So by the time the four ran out of the clearing the others had disappeared. "What are we going to do?" Tai shouted at Izzy "How are we going to find them?" "Calm down Tai. We have to use our heads. All we have to do is use our Digivices." He looked at his. "Now that's weird." "What is it?" Mimi asked "And don't tell me some technical theory. I'm tiered and angry. Why does Matt have to do this now? I just want to defeat this enemy now and go home as soon as possible!" "Calm down Mimi and let Izzy speak." "From what I can see from my Digivice" he looked over at Tai's and Mimi's. "And yours, they seem to be blank. I'll have to run some tests but from what I can see they have either been turned off or someone has managed to blank out the screens."
Sora and Joe caught up with Matt as he marched through the forest, T.K struggling to keep up. "What do you two want?" "Why are going away for? We are a team. We are stronger together than we are apart." "You try telling that to Tai." "It isn't Tai's fault." "Oh I suppose its mine then." "It's a mix between you and Tai. You two fight so much you endanger our safety as Digidestined. We have to stick together." Before Matt could come up with a response T.K grabbed Matt's arm. "Don't argue so much Matt. I suppose Patamon and me were in the wrong. We did splash her." Joe spoke up suddenly. " You two are the most powerful and the leaders. You have to make peace." Matt stayed silent after the barrage of advice. "Ok lets go back." He turned around. "What way is the way back?" "Don't tell me we're lost again" In the shadows of the tree's nearby several eyes observed their movements. "They have split up into two groups of four." One of them was speaking into a radio. "Excellent, keep them under observation. We will launch our attack soon. Keep the two groups away from eachother."
In another part of the Digital world something strange was happening. There was a huge buildup of electrical energy around one of the gates. It was sparking every where causing major thunderstorms. Gennai was looking at this on his computer screen. Strange, he thought. Almost of if the gate was preparing to open. But why? And who was it planning to transport to the human world or vice versa? He would have to wait and see. He checked another screen to see how the Digidestined were doing. Strange, they didn't seem to be anywhere. Nothing seemed to be right on this computer. Suddenly all his computers went blank. Gennai started to type furiously trying to get his computers working again.
Susan paused for a moment laying down the box she was carrying and took a small rest. She had been shifting box's and moving computers for two hours. She was tired and in pain. Her former strength seemed to have disappeared, but unfortunately her headache was still pounding away. She looked around her. The building was very large with several staircases and lots of rooms. "Hey you, hurry up with that box." She felt angry; the staff had treated her like dirt since the beginning. When she walked into the room there were four people sitting round one big computer. "Leave down that over in the corner." After doing this manual task Susan stayed completely silent. She hoped that this would mean that they wouldn't notice her. The four people seemed to be studying the screen intently. "There's something wrong with the screen. It won't change from this thing, whoa what's happening?" Electrical sparks started to fly around the computer and the rest of the room. The men steeped back from the computer instantly. One reached forward and turned it off. "No point dealing with this computer at the minute. It's obviously got a bug in it. Let's go down below." The four left the room without noticing Susan. For the first couple of minutes she just sat in a chair and enjoyed the feeling of not working. But this got boring after a while so she started to explore round the room. There were two bookshelves and a table, which was littered with rubbish as well as the computer. She tried to read some of the books but found that they were all dealing with computers that she had no knowledge about. Finally she sat down in the big computer chair. Not being very tall the computer towered over her. She had to get up on her knees to see the screen properly. She looked at the button, which the men had turned off the computer with. She guessed correctly, that you use the same button to turn the computer on. She paused for just a second to consider what trouble she might get into before realizing that it couldn't get much worse. A couple of minutes later when it stopped loading Susan looked mystified at the screen. She had never touched a computer before today, let alone use one before. She hesitantly moved the mouse towards one of the icons. Before she could click the mouse the screen changed to the one that was annoying the programmer's. Also the sparks of electricity started surrounding the computer again. At first she was anxious about getting hurt but they didn't seem to effect her. She stared intently at the computer screen. It seemed to be some sort of gate; she could see a picture through it. It was a picture of green hills and a forest that were engulfed in a thunderstorm. Suddenly while she was watching the screen the headache came on again but more severe this time. The pain inside her head was agonizingly painful. Her eyes screwed shut she thrust her hands out in front of her. She started to scream, as the pain seemed to reach a boiling point. Out of nowhere an idea popped into her brain. She commanded it mechanically and began to push something out of the palms of her hands. As she did this, the pain seemed to die away. But as her eyes were closed she didn't notice the green light coming from her hands or the blue light from the computer that covered her and sucked in into the Digital world. The green light, which had been released from her hands, blew up the building several seconds. There were eight people inside the building. The explosion started from the top room and moved down. Three happened to be outside and two of the other escaped without a scratch. Unfortunately for the last man a beam of wood cracked him in the back. He was left in hospital for three months but he left with no major injury. Fire experts brought in could not determine the true cause of the explosion and eventually it was decided that it was one of the computers. Police were mystified by the fact that there were no remains of the one victim. Some suspected that she might have escaped as she was going to have a bad time at the orphanage but then some tiny scraps of clothing and her watch were found. It was a cheep watch that was given to her by the last orphanage and was the final proof of her death. Her funeral was very small. The Matron and her staff were forced to come, and there were some representatives from the orphanage. The Matron from her previous orphanage- also her first- made an appearance. Overall however she wasn't missed. No one knew her intimately or even well. Her parents were a mystery. She was just a baby that had been left at an orphanage. After a week or two she was largely forgotten. Two months later no one remembered the small eight-year-old who didn't speak much.
So how did you enjoy it? Review please. Even if it is only a few words just so I know people are reading it. In case anyone wanted to know my other story is "
As you have seen from the title this is about another child in the Digiworld who is not a Digidestined. Hope you enjoy. This is my first Digimon story and my second overall

She could see that it had unnerved Mrs. Roberts. She was used to people being scared of her especially people below thirteen. It was a tiny victory out all that had happened. She walked out of the office and outside. There were three buses lined up on the road. Most of the children were lining up to get on them. She sighed. She was getting a lot of punishment for very little, buts that's life she thought. She was walking down the orphanage drive- she would have to go to the Computer Company the proper way, up their drive. It was as she turned up the gravel drive that the headache started. It was a sharp pain that seemed to engulf her brain. Her vision became blurred and she fell to her knee's clutching her head. It lasted a couple of minutes before subduing. She stood up shakily and her vision came back but the headache was still there. It wasn't as painful as it had been before but it still pounded in her head. She thought about going back for a few moments but then decided it would be better to push on. It was probably just a migraine or something she thought.
Joe, Izzy, and Mimi and their Digimon watched the fight from their sleeping bags. After T.K and Patamon had come back scratched Matt had got himself into a temper. He still didn't trust Gatomon, as she had worked for Myotismon in the past and Kari was unknown to him as she hadn't been one of the original seven. Tai started to argue with him immediately partly because Kari was his sister and partly that he loved to argue with Matt. Their fight had lasted two hours already and they were still going strong. Sora was trying to stop them fighting but was not having much luck. The two younger members to whom which the matter concerned had already made up and Gatomon had apologized to T.K and Patamon. All four were fast asleep by this point. "You call yourself the leader and you can't even keep your sister under control!" "You're one to talk. Your brother was teasing Gatomon, he got what he deserved." "I'm not staying here to listen to this! T.K we're leaving." T.K lifted his head sleepily. He felt really tired and he didn't want to leave the safety of the others but if his brother knew best? He followed his brother out of the clearing. Sora without a word to Tai or the others sprinted after him with Joe following behind. Sora went so she could try and convince Matt to turn around and Joe went off, as he preferred Matt to Tai. Izzy and Mimi were slow to get up and Tai had to wake up his sister. So by the time the four ran out of the clearing the others had disappeared. "What are we going to do?" Tai shouted at Izzy "How are we going to find them?" "Calm down Tai. We have to use our heads. All we have to do is use our Digivices." He looked at his. "Now that's weird." "What is it?" Mimi asked "And don't tell me some technical theory. I'm tiered and angry. Why does Matt have to do this now? I just want to defeat this enemy now and go home as soon as possible!" "Calm down Mimi and let Izzy speak." "From what I can see from my Digivice" he looked over at Tai's and Mimi's. "And yours, they seem to be blank. I'll have to run some tests but from what I can see they have either been turned off or someone has managed to blank out the screens."
Sora and Joe caught up with Matt as he marched through the forest, T.K struggling to keep up. "What do you two want?" "Why are going away for? We are a team. We are stronger together than we are apart." "You try telling that to Tai." "It isn't Tai's fault." "Oh I suppose its mine then." "It's a mix between you and Tai. You two fight so much you endanger our safety as Digidestined. We have to stick together." Before Matt could come up with a response T.K grabbed Matt's arm. "Don't argue so much Matt. I suppose Patamon and me were in the wrong. We did splash her." Joe spoke up suddenly. " You two are the most powerful and the leaders. You have to make peace." Matt stayed silent after the barrage of advice. "Ok lets go back." He turned around. "What way is the way back?" "Don't tell me we're lost again" In the shadows of the tree's nearby several eyes observed their movements. "They have split up into two groups of four." One of them was speaking into a radio. "Excellent, keep them under observation. We will launch our attack soon. Keep the two groups away from eachother."
In another part of the Digital world something strange was happening. There was a huge buildup of electrical energy around one of the gates. It was sparking every where causing major thunderstorms. Gennai was looking at this on his computer screen. Strange, he thought. Almost of if the gate was preparing to open. But why? And who was it planning to transport to the human world or vice versa? He would have to wait and see. He checked another screen to see how the Digidestined were doing. Strange, they didn't seem to be anywhere. Nothing seemed to be right on this computer. Suddenly all his computers went blank. Gennai started to type furiously trying to get his computers working again.
Susan paused for a moment laying down the box she was carrying and took a small rest. She had been shifting box's and moving computers for two hours. She was tired and in pain. Her former strength seemed to have disappeared, but unfortunately her headache was still pounding away. She looked around her. The building was very large with several staircases and lots of rooms. "Hey you, hurry up with that box." She felt angry; the staff had treated her like dirt since the beginning. When she walked into the room there were four people sitting round one big computer. "Leave down that over in the corner." After doing this manual task Susan stayed completely silent. She hoped that this would mean that they wouldn't notice her. The four people seemed to be studying the screen intently. "There's something wrong with the screen. It won't change from this thing, whoa what's happening?" Electrical sparks started to fly around the computer and the rest of the room. The men steeped back from the computer instantly. One reached forward and turned it off. "No point dealing with this computer at the minute. It's obviously got a bug in it. Let's go down below." The four left the room without noticing Susan. For the first couple of minutes she just sat in a chair and enjoyed the feeling of not working. But this got boring after a while so she started to explore round the room. There were two bookshelves and a table, which was littered with rubbish as well as the computer. She tried to read some of the books but found that they were all dealing with computers that she had no knowledge about. Finally she sat down in the big computer chair. Not being very tall the computer towered over her. She had to get up on her knees to see the screen properly. She looked at the button, which the men had turned off the computer with. She guessed correctly, that you use the same button to turn the computer on. She paused for just a second to consider what trouble she might get into before realizing that it couldn't get much worse. A couple of minutes later when it stopped loading Susan looked mystified at the screen. She had never touched a computer before today, let alone use one before. She hesitantly moved the mouse towards one of the icons. Before she could click the mouse the screen changed to the one that was annoying the programmer's. Also the sparks of electricity started surrounding the computer again. At first she was anxious about getting hurt but they didn't seem to effect her. She stared intently at the computer screen. It seemed to be some sort of gate; she could see a picture through it. It was a picture of green hills and a forest that were engulfed in a thunderstorm. Suddenly while she was watching the screen the headache came on again but more severe this time. The pain inside her head was agonizingly painful. Her eyes screwed shut she thrust her hands out in front of her. She started to scream, as the pain seemed to reach a boiling point. Out of nowhere an idea popped into her brain. She commanded it mechanically and began to push something out of the palms of her hands. As she did this, the pain seemed to die away. But as her eyes were closed she didn't notice the green light coming from her hands or the blue light from the computer that covered her and sucked in into the Digital world. The green light, which had been released from her hands, blew up the building several seconds. There were eight people inside the building. The explosion started from the top room and moved down. Three happened to be outside and two of the other escaped without a scratch. Unfortunately for the last man a beam of wood cracked him in the back. He was left in hospital for three months but he left with no major injury. Fire experts brought in could not determine the true cause of the explosion and eventually it was decided that it was one of the computers. Police were mystified by the fact that there were no remains of the one victim. Some suspected that she might have escaped as she was going to have a bad time at the orphanage but then some tiny scraps of clothing and her watch were found. It was a cheep watch that was given to her by the last orphanage and was the final proof of her death. Her funeral was very small. The Matron and her staff were forced to come, and there were some representatives from the orphanage. The Matron from her previous orphanage- also her first- made an appearance. Overall however she wasn't missed. No one knew her intimately or even well. Her parents were a mystery. She was just a baby that had been left at an orphanage. After a week or two she was largely forgotten. Two months later no one remembered the small eight-year-old who didn't speak much.
