Compassionate Power- Part 1
Saiai looked around as he wandered through the forest. *Hmmmm... this forest, now that I think about it, does look a lot like the one at home. Speaking of which, I wonder what's happening now in the real world. Are Mom and Dad searching for me? I hope they're not too worried...* He stopped for a second and watched the shadows of night begin to darken the forest. *Night's falling... I'll have to find a place to rest soon.*
In the canopy, a group of Digimon were watching the sunset intently.
"Heheh!! Night is falling! Soon, we can go attack that human that the boss ordered us to!"
"Hee! Do ya think he'll be able to get away?!"
"No way! Noone escapes Impmon!"
"Night!!! SCREE!!"
As the sun dipped below the trees, the tiny bat-like Impmon took to the air.
"The night!! Screeee!!!"
"Let us feast!!!"
The Impmon flew northward, swarming and searching. Soon, they would find their prey...
Saiai spun around. "What's that sound?" He saw what appeared to be a flock of bats, swarming and zoom through the trees. "What the heck?!"
One of the Impmon stopped in midair, then turned toward Saiai. "There he is!! Get him!!!"
The Impmon suddenly veered in their flight and flew toward Saiai. "Aw crap!" He started running as fast as he could. The Impmon gave chase, howling and screaming as they flew. Saiai pumped his legs as hard as he could, but no matter how fast he seemed to run, the Impmon never seemed to lose any distance. *Oh no... I, I can't keep this up much longer!* Tears began to form in his eyes as he ran. *This... this may be the end.. No! I can't let it end this way!* He shook his head vigorously. *I've gotta keep running... but how much longer can I last?*
Saiai charged into a bush of briars and fell, becoming nearly invisible to the eye. The Impmon flew right over him, too eager in their chase to notice. A bit after they passed, Saiai sat up and sighed.
Suddenly, the cloud of Impmon stopped, and reversed their direction.
*Oh... Damn!* Saiai stumbled to his feet as quickly as he could and started running again.
*What's with these things?! They're like some kind of homing missile made of bats!* A
few minutes later, Saiai began to slow his place. *Oh no. No! I gotta... keep...*
Saiai stumbled to the ground. The Impmon flew higher for a second and stopped.
"He's down!!! Now to Eat!!"
The Impmon swooped down at Saiai. Suddenly, a Aqua-colored light shined from something in the area.
"Ack! It's light!!"
"Can't... see..."
"Grrr. I dunno how he did that, but we'll get him later!"
The Impmon flew off, but now they seemed to be a bit less coordinated. Several flew into trees during their flight.
Saiai looked around. He almost spoke, but then remembered the Impmon's hearing. *What is that light?*
He looked underneath him. The light seemed to be coming right out of the ground. *What the...* He tapped it with his foot.
Suddenly, the light grew brighter, and something burst from the ground. It was a small, egg-shaped object. It appeared to be made of overlapping layers of metal, and it had an odd symbol on it. The symbol looked something like this:
.....___
..../___/
.../_|_|_\
..._(_)_. Yeah, I know. I suck at ASCII. So sue me.
...\_|_|_/
..../___/
"What's this? Could this... is this the egg that odd old guy was talking about?" Saiai touched the egg. It gave off a light that lit up the surrounding forest. "Wha..." The light was the last thing he remembered before falling succumb to the exhaustion that had been gripping him since the chase began.
The Impmon returned to their tree. After hours of searching, they weren't able to find Saiai. The sun was beginning to rise as well, so they couldn't continue. They huddled together to await the sunlight. Suddenly, an odd... force, of some kind, appeared in the tree. It looked like a shadow, yet the Impmon still jumped back at the sight of it. "Eeeek! It's the Boss!"
A voice emitted from within the shadow. It was an Evil voice, filled with malice. "Have you caught the child yet?"
A Impmon stepped forward and bowed nervously. "N-not yet, Boss."
The voice boomed in anger. "I have told you fools too many times! You are only to address me as Master ChaosDramon!"
The Impmon all bowed at once. "Yes, ChaosDramon-sama!"
"Good. Now, why have you not caught that child yet?"
"Well, it's the sun, boss. Err, ChaosDramon-sama." The Impmon quickly corrected himself. "We can't fly during the day..."
"Hmmm. Well, allow me to take care of that. In the meantime, get ready to fly."
"Right, Bo... Master ChaosDramon!"
Saiai opened his eyes slowly. He found himself staring up into the face of a cat. "Good morning!"
"ACK!! Gerroff Me!!" Saiai shot up, and the cat-thing fell off him. It looked like a black cat with odd tufts of hair shooting out of its ears. It was wearing a small, ragged red cape as well. The cat thing stood up and brushed itself off, then glared at Saiai.
"Hey, is that anyway to treat your Digimon?! How rude!"
"Wait... are you that thing that came out of that egg?"
The cat grinned. "That's right! I'm Tommon, and I'm your Digimon! Now, let's get a move on, shall we?"
Tommon began climbing up a nearby tree. "Hup, hup, c'mon, slowpoke!"
Saiai looked puzzled. "Wait a second! Why wasn't I caught by those flying things?"
Tommon looked down the tree. "Climb up here, and I'll tell you!"
"Gaah, fine..." Luckily for Saiai, there were a lot of branches sticking out, and he soon was near the top of the tree with Tommon.
"Took you long enough. Anyway, the reason you weren't caught is `cause I buried you under some leaves."
Saiai balanced himself. "Uh... thanks, I guess. So, why did you want me to come up here?"
Tommon rapped Saiai on the head with a claw. "Oi, you're a thick one. No reason, just wanted to see if you could get up here. I don't want some weakling for a partner, after all. Oh yeah, here's that egg." He handed Saiai the odd metal egg he had seen before.
"Um, wait. I thought you hatched out of this."
"Saiai no baka. This is a Digimental! Ya use this to help me digivolve."
"Um, ok... Digivolve?"
Tommon looked exasperated. "Gaah, do I have to explain everything? Look, when we get in trouble, just hold this up and say Digi Armor Energize. Simple enough for ya?"
"Um, yeah. Thanks."
"No problem. If you're gonna be my partner, I'll have to teach ya some things, obviously."
"Hey, what happened to those bat-things?"
"Oh, the Impmon? They're probably hiding now, `cause it's day. They don't like sunlight."
"Hmmm..." Saiai looked into the sky. "What the... Tommon, look at the sun!"
"What about it?" Tommon looked up and gasped. The sun was being... distorted, and was zooming toward the West. "That's not supposed to happen!"
"What's going on? Why is the sun going so fast?"
"I don't know... someone must be moving the sun, so it'll be night again!"
"But how... and why?"
"Forget it, we gotta get out of here! The Impmon will be back in the air soon!"
Tommon jumped out of the tree and landed gracefully on the ground, thanks to his cape.
"Come on, Saiai!"
"I'm coming..." Saiai made his way down the tree slowly. He was near the bottom when a branch cracked. "Oh crap!" The branch broke and Saiai fell and landed on his behind.
Tommon reached for his hand and helped him up. "Come on! The sun will be gone soon!"
The Impmon took to the skies as the sun dropped below the horizon. "Da boss has done it again! Let's get that kid!"
Saiai and Tommon looked behind them. "There's only one thing that makes a noise like that! C'mon, we gotta run!" Tommon and Saiai took off. Soon, the Impmon were visible behind them, flying at full speed.
Saiai chanced a halt. He looked around and saw a cave not too far away. "Tommon! In there!" He and the cat-like Digimon quickly ran into the cave. The Impmon hesitated, then flew after.
Inside, Saiai and Tommon were trying to push a large rock in front of the entrance. "Ok, now!" They both pushed with all their might, and the rock slowly but surely rolled in front of the entrance.
"Ow!"
"Dang it! They sealed it shut!"
"The boss ain't gonna like this!"
"ARRGH!"
"Alright! That was a good plan, Saiai! Maybe you're not such a baka after all."
"Thanks. Now, how are we supposed to see?"
"I'll handle it! Cat's Eye!"
Two bright beams of light shot out of Tommon's eyes and lit up the room. They began traveling through the cave.
"It's rather... wet in here, isn't it?" Tommon puffed his fur.
"Quite. Maybe there's something living here. We'd best be careful."
Tommon's ears pricked up. "Saiai, watch out!"
"Waah!" Saiai fell backwards. A huge Alligator-like Digimon burst from the water.
"Oh no!! It's Chonchimon!"
"Who dares enter the lair of Chonchimon?! Prepare to die, intruders! Dark Claw!"
A dark beam of energy shot from Chonchimon's claws. Tommon jumped it gracefully.
"Hah! Is that the best you can do, lizard butt?"
Chonchimon's eyes glowed red. "Arrgh! I'll destroy you, you mangy furbag!"
"What did you just call me?! Alright, Saiai, it's Digivolving time!"
"R-right!" Saiai held up his D3 and called out, "Digi Armor Energize!"
"Tommon! Armor Digivolve to..."
A large shell of armor surrounded Tommon's body. It configured itself into a suit of Shogun's armor, gleaming. A large curved sword appeared in the suit of armor's hand. Two cat-like eyes peered from within the depths of the armor.
"...Shogunmon, the Katana of Compassion."
Saiai blinked. "Wow... So this is the power of Digivolution?"
The huge shogun turned toward Saiai. "Correct. Now, watch as I teach this lizard a lesson!"
Chonchimon seemed unimpressed by Tommon's transformation. "You can't stop me that easily! Dark Claw!"
Shogunmon simply spun his sword and halted the attack. He held up his sword. "Katana Cannon!"
A green beam of light shot from the blade and struck Chonchimon square in the eyes.
"Arrrgh! Infernal Bite!" The monstrous alligator shot forward and attempted to bite Shogunmon's leg.
"Armored Shell!" A large shell of overlapping metal plates appeared in front of Shogunmon, deflecting the attack. "Now, to finish you off! Shining Blade!"
Light gathered about Shogunmon's sword. He swung it downward, slashing Chonchimon severely.
"Arrgh... Curse you!" Chonchimon, although he was dissolving, was determined to finish off Shogunmon. "Arrgh!" It slammed into a nearby pillar, then completely vanished. A loud rumbling noise above revealed what his purpose was.
"He's making the tunnel collapse!"
Shogunmon de-digivolved into Tommon. "Let's get out of here, now!"
Outside, Daisuke, Hikari, Takeru, Iori and Miyako(and their Digimon) were heading back from their battle with Golemon. Daisuke was, as always, running ahead. "Come on guys! We need to get back home before Dinner!"
"Yeah, I'm starving!" yelled V-mon.
Takeru called back, "We're coming, we're coming. Geez, calm down."
Miyako stopped. "Do you guys hear something?"
Hikari stopped and listened. "I didn't hear anything."
"Neither did I," Iori said in his usual quiet manner. "Maybe you're hearing things."
"Well, I wanna look around here for something. I'll catch up with you guys, ok?"
"Fine with us. Just don't get too far behind." Takeru and the rest walked off. Hawkmon, however, stayed.
"Miyako-chan, you've been acting quite strange lately. What's going on?"
Miyako looked down at her partner. "Gomen nasai, Hawkmon-chan. I've just been feeling a bit odd. I have a premonition, if that makes any sense to you."
"It doesn't. Please explain."
"Well, basically I have a hunch that something's going to happen soon, something important. I'm not sure if it's bad or good, but I want to be prepared for it."
Hawkmon nodded. "Ah, I see. So, what are you looking for around here anyway?"
Miyako turned and scanned the ground in front of her. "I was looking for a piece of that Digimon we fought. I was goin to take it home and analyze it, but it doesn't look like there's much here." She looked at the cliff face. "I could've sworn I heard something..."
As if on cue, a hole blew out of the side of the cliff. "What the?!" Miyako turned and tried to run before she was hit by the rocks, but was hit by something heavy before she could get away.
"Miyako? Miyako!"
Hawkmon hopped about the pile of rocks, trying to dig a path to his/her(Sorry, I can't tell, the voice is so odd. O.O) Chosen Child. S/he hefted a rather large rock on top, and revealed a cat-like claw extending from the rocks. "Huh? Who's this?" S/he dug some more, until she revealed the thing's entire body. "My, what an odd-looking pile of fur."
Tommon's eyes snapped open. "Hey, who you callin' a furpile, ya feather duster?!"
"Oh my!" Hawkmon jumped back as Tommon stood up and dusted himself off. He looked around. "Where am I? Where's Saiai?"
"Who's Saiai?"
"Well, he's..." Tommon then noticed the pile of rocks he was standing on. "Oh no! Saiai, holdon, I'll get you out!" He started digging frantically. "Oi, you, bird-thing! Get a move on and help me shift these rocks!"
Hawkmon looked as though s/he was about to object, but then closed his/her mouth and nodded.
"Miyako? Miyako! Wake up!"
Miyako's eyes slowly opened. "Uhhh... Hawkmon?"
The face of Hawkmon hovered above her friend's. "Are you alright?"
She slowly sat up. "I think so... what happened?"
"I'm not quite sure. We found you under a pile of rocks. That human over there apparently landed on top of you, knocking you down, but also protecting you from the rocks. If it wasn't for him, you might not have survived..."
"He... he saved me?"
Tommon, who was kneeling near Saiai, spun around and glared. "That's right he did! And you, bird-thing, quit calling him human! He's got a name, ya know!" He went back to Saiai and kneeled by him. "C'mon, Saiai, don't give up on me yet! We barely know each other, you can't die now!"
A low groan came from Saiai as he stirred slightly. "Uhhhhhhhhh..."
"Yeah! Saiai, I knew you could pull through!" Tommon did a small dance to himself, then jumped back to give Saiai some space.
Saiai stirred some more. He managed to get on his hands, then open his eyes.
"Tommon...?" He looked around some more, then spotted Miyako. "Who are you...? And why do I have the feeling I've seen you before?"
"She's the human you landed on when we burst through that wall in the cave! She might have been killed if you hadn't, because your body protected her from the rocks! Of course, you might've been killed yourself if she hadn't broken your fall..."
"Huh?" Saiai managed to get to his knees. Suddenly, realization hit him. "ACK! I'm so sorry! Are you alright?"
Miyako nodded shyly. "Yeah... I'm ok. Thanks."
Saiai tried to get up. "Gaah!" He fell back down and clutched his leg.
"Are you ok?"
"Uhhh, yeah. I'm just battered some, but I'll be fine."
"C'mon, I'll help you up." Miyako reached for Saiai's hand.
"Uh, thanks." Saiai took her hand, and was pulled to a stand. He noticed how close he was to Miyako, and blushed nearly unnoticeably. She stepped back a bit to let Saiai steady himself. "So, um, who are you? What are you doing here in the Digiworld?"
"I'm Inoue Miyako, a Digidestined. This is my partner, Hawkmon."
"So, that old man was telling the truth. There ARE others!"
Miyako tilted her head. "Old man? You mean Gennai?"
"Yeah. Anyway, I'm Horisu Saiai, and this is Tommon. Nice to meet you."
"Cool. Hey, what's your crest?"
Saiai scratched his head. "Crest?"
Tommon spoke up. "That's that symbol on your Digiegg. Your crest is Compassion."
"Thanks, Tommon." Saiai turned back toward Miyako. "So, what's your Crest?"
"I have two, Sincerity and Love."
Suddenly, Daisuke appeared from behind a bend in the canyon. "Hey, Miyako! Hurry up, already!" Then he noticed Saiai and smirked. "So, having some private time with a boy, eh?"
"DAISUKE!" Miyako turned toward the naive kid and scowled. Saiai simply glared. "We weren't doing anything!"
"Yeah, sure. Whatever." Daisuke grinned evilly. "So, who's your B/F?" He walked up to
Saiai. He pulled Daisuke's goggles back and let them snap back in his face.
"Ow!"
"Baka. We weren't doing anything. Got it?"
"Ok, ok, fine..."
Hikari, Tailmon, Iori, Armadillomon, Takeru, Patamon, and V-mon then came around the bend. "Hey guys!" Miyako called out.
"Hey Miyako. Who's this?" Hikari asked, looking at Saiai.
"Konnichiwa. I'm Horisu Saiai. Pleased to meetcha!"
"And I'm Tommon, his Digimon!"
"Saiai's a Digidestined. His crest is the crest of Compassion." Miyako started introducing her friends. "Saiai, that's Yagami Hikari. Her crest is Light, and her Digimon is Tailmon."
Tommon's jaw dropped when he saw Tailmon. He edged toward her. "Heheheh... Hi."
Tailmon glared at him. "Don't even think about it, cape-boy."
"The kid with the goggles is Motomiya Daisuke. His digimon's V-mon, and his crests are Courage and Friendship. That's Takaishi Takeru, with Patamon. His crest is Hope. And the short kid is Hida Iori. His digimon's Armadillomon, and his crests are Knowledge and Reliability."
"Hmmm, cool. So, you guys all have Japanese names as well?"
"Um, duh, we ARE Japanese," Daisuke said in an obvious tone of voice.
"Cool! I'm not, actually. I'm from America. My real name isn't actually Saiai. But I like the Japanese version of my name better, plus I'm gonna go to Japan someday to live."
"Alright. By the way, Miyako, what took you so long?" Takeru asked inquisitively.
"Well, Saiai busted through a wall in the cliff over there. It caused a rockslide that he and I got buried under. Tommon and Hawkmon had to dig us out."
Saiai rubbed the back of his head nervously. "Yeah... Me and Tommon got chased into a cave by a bunch of Impmon. We were able to keep them out of the cave by pushing a rock in front of the entrance, but we ended up sealing ourselves in with a Chonchimon. Tommon was able to beat him, but he ended up causing the tunnel to collapse. We had to bust our way through a weak part of the wall to escape in time."
"Well, we had best get going," said Takeru, checking his watch. "It's getting late, we better get home."
"Alright. C'mon guys," said Daisuke, once again taking the part of leader.
"Err, wait. How do I get home?"
Daisuke looked indignant. "Figure it out yourself!"
"Hey, Saiai has a point. If he uses the same TV we do to get to the Digiworld, he'll end up in Japan with us. I'll e-mail Gennai for the answer."
"I agree with Yagami-chan!" Daisuke said, doing his usual 180 of attitude.
Saiai looked confused. "How can you e-mail him? We don't have any computers here." Hikari then pressed a button on the side of her D3, and it changed into the Computer-like version of it. "Oh, Ok. I obviously need to learn a lot more about this place. Maybe you guys can fill me in some while we wait for a response from Gennai."
Fifteen minutes later...
"Alright, I think I've got this down. This kid named Ichijouji Ken was terrorizing the Digiworld, and you guys came and stopped him. But it took a while, and now he's good. He has the Crest of Kindness, and his Digimon is Wormmon." Saiai paused for breath, then continued. "There are several levels of Digivolution. Baby, In-Training, Rookie, Armor, Champion, Ultimate, and Mega. There are also some Digimon whose level seems higher than that of Mega, and there are other Digimon that seem to be somewhat in-between levels. Is that basically it?"
Takeru nodded. "There's more, but I think that's all you need to know for now. Hikari, did you get a response yet?"
"As I matter of fact, I just did. Come read it, everyone." Everybody gathered around to
read Gennai's E-mail.

Digidestined:
I see you've met the newest Digidestined, Saiai, and his Digimon, Tommon. He didn't come here like you people did. I had to bring him here by my own force. Now, as for what to do with him, he won't be able to go home until your mission is over. I'll explain exactly what his mission is tomorrow. Until then, I suggest that you guys figure out how he'll stay over your places. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a chicken in the oven.

"So, we're stuck with him until whatever we need to do with him is over and done with? This sucks!" Daisuke kicked the dirt aimlessly.
Saiai grinned widely. "All right! I can't believe I'll be going to Japan! Wait until Kai and Heza hear about this!"
Takeru looked up at the name Heza. "Huh? I know a girl named Yakanori Heza, she's friends with my older brother."
Saiai blinked. "What? Yakanori-chan lives in Japan?! I can't believe she didn't tell me! Arrgh!"
"Guys, we need to make a decision. Who's house is Saiai going to stay at?" Miyako pushed her glasses up her nose as she spoke. "Maybe we should E-mail Koushirou. He should be able to figure it out."
"Or maybe we should E-mail Heza. Saiai seems to be pretty good friends with her."
"Why do we have to even take him? Let's just let him sleep out here in the Digiworld!"
"I have an idea," said Iori, who had stayed quiet throughout the entire conversation. "Our apartments are all pretty close together. Let's just go home and call the others. We can decide after dinner what to do. During the meantime, Saiai could just stay on the roof of one of our apartment buildings."
Saiai nodded. "Great idea, Iori. But, can one of you bring me something to eat? I'm starting to get hungry..."
Miyako smiled. "Don't worry. My dad owns a store, and I borrow food from him all the time. I'll bring you something."
"Thanks, Inoue-san. Now, let's get going, shall we?" Saiai started off in a direction, then turned back toward the group. "Um, where's that TV thing you guys were talking about?"
*****
Oi. This is the first large part of my Fanfic. It's incredible that it only took me like 5 days to write all this. If this keeps up, I should get this thing done before March. Which won't happen.
Anyway, stay tuned for more stuffage from me. Ugh, Saiko writing is harder than I thought... Oh well. I'll have to do a lot more of it in the future. ^-^'

Saiai looked around as he wandered through the forest. *Hmmmm... this forest, now that I think about it, does look a lot like the one at home. Speaking of which, I wonder what's happening now in the real world. Are Mom and Dad searching for me? I hope they're not too worried...* He stopped for a second and watched the shadows of night begin to darken the forest. *Night's falling... I'll have to find a place to rest soon.*
In the canopy, a group of Digimon were watching the sunset intently.
"Heheh!! Night is falling! Soon, we can go attack that human that the boss ordered us to!"
"Hee! Do ya think he'll be able to get away?!"
"No way! Noone escapes Impmon!"
"Night!!! SCREE!!"
As the sun dipped below the trees, the tiny bat-like Impmon took to the air.
"The night!! Screeee!!!"
"Let us feast!!!"
The Impmon flew northward, swarming and searching. Soon, they would find their prey...
Saiai spun around. "What's that sound?" He saw what appeared to be a flock of bats, swarming and zoom through the trees. "What the heck?!"
One of the Impmon stopped in midair, then turned toward Saiai. "There he is!! Get him!!!"
The Impmon suddenly veered in their flight and flew toward Saiai. "Aw crap!" He started running as fast as he could. The Impmon gave chase, howling and screaming as they flew. Saiai pumped his legs as hard as he could, but no matter how fast he seemed to run, the Impmon never seemed to lose any distance. *Oh no...

Saiai charged into a bush of briars and fell, becoming nearly invisible to the eye. The Impmon flew right over him, too eager in their chase to notice. A bit after they passed, Saiai sat up and sighed.

*What's with these things?! They're like some kind of homing missile made of bats!* A
few minutes later, Saiai began to slow his place. *Oh no. No! I gotta... keep...*
Saiai stumbled to the ground. The Impmon flew higher for a second and stopped.
"He's down!!! Now to Eat!!"
The Impmon swooped down at Saiai. Suddenly, a Aqua-colored light shined from something in the area.
"Ack! It's light!!"
"Can't... see..."
"Grrr. I dunno how he did that, but we'll get him later!"
The Impmon flew off, but now they seemed to be a bit less coordinated. Several flew into trees during their flight.
Saiai looked around. He almost spoke, but then remembered the Impmon's hearing. *What is that light?*

"Hmmm. Well, allow me to take care of that. In the meantime, get ready to fly."
"Right, Bo... Master ChaosDramon!"
Saiai opened his eyes slowly. He found himself staring up into the face of a cat. "Good morning!"
"ACK!! Gerroff Me!!" Saiai shot up, and the cat-thing fell off him. It looked like a black cat with odd tufts of hair shooting out of its ears. It was wearing a small, ragged red cape as well. The cat thing stood up and brushed itself off, then glared at Saiai.
"Hey, is that anyway to treat your Digimon?! How rude!"
"Wait... are you that thing that came out of that egg?"
The cat grinned. "That's right! I'm Tommon, and I'm your Digimon! Now, let's get a move on, shall we?"
Tommon began climbing up a nearby tree. "Hup, hup, c'mon, slowpoke!"
Saiai looked puzzled. "Wait a second! Why wasn't I caught by those flying things?"
Tommon looked down the tree. "Climb up here, and I'll tell you!"
"Gaah, fine..." Luckily for Saiai, there were a lot of branches sticking out, and he soon was near the top of the tree with Tommon.
"Took you long enough. Anyway, the reason you weren't caught is `cause I buried you under some leaves."
Saiai balanced himself. "Uh... thanks, I guess. So, why did you want me to come up here?"
Tommon rapped Saiai on the head with a claw. "Oi, you're a thick one. No reason, just wanted to see if you could get up here. I don't want some weakling for a partner, after all. Oh yeah, here's that egg." He handed Saiai the odd metal egg he had seen before.
"Um, wait. I thought you hatched out of this."
"Saiai no baka. This is a Digimental! Ya use this to help me digivolve."

"Um, yeah. Thanks."
"No problem. If you're gonna be my partner, I'll have to teach ya some things, obviously."
"Hey, what happened to those bat-things?"
"Oh, the Impmon? They're probably hiding now, `cause it's day. They don't like sunlight."
"Hmmm..." Saiai looked into the sky. "What the... Tommon, look at the sun!"
"What about it?" Tommon looked up and gasped. The sun was being... distorted, and was zooming toward the West. "That's not supposed to happen!"
"What's going on? Why is the sun going so fast?"
"I don't know... someone must be moving the sun, so it'll be night again!"
"But how... and why?"
"Forget it, we gotta get out of here! The Impmon will be back in the air soon!"
Tommon jumped out of the tree and landed gracefully on the ground, thanks to his cape.
"Come on, Saiai!"
"I'm coming..." Saiai made his way down the tree slowly. He was near the bottom when a branch cracked. "Oh crap!" The branch broke and Saiai fell and landed on his behind.
Tommon reached for his hand and helped him up. "Come on! The sun will be gone soon!"
The Impmon took to the skies as the sun dropped below the horizon. "Da boss has done it again! Let's get that kid!"
Saiai and Tommon looked behind them. "There's only one thing that makes a noise like that! C'mon, we gotta run!" Tommon and Saiai took off. Soon, the Impmon were visible behind them, flying at full speed.
Saiai chanced a halt. He looked around and saw a cave not too far away. "Tommon! In there!" He and the cat-like Digimon quickly ran into the cave. The Impmon hesitated, then flew after.
Inside, Saiai and Tommon were trying to push a large rock in front of the entrance. "Ok, now!" They both pushed with all their might, and the rock slowly but surely rolled in front of the entrance.
"Ow!"
"Dang it! They sealed it shut!"
"The boss ain't gonna like this!"
"ARRGH!"
"Alright! That was a good plan, Saiai! Maybe you're not such a baka after all."
"Thanks. Now, how are we supposed to see?"
"I'll handle it! Cat's Eye!"
Two bright beams of light shot out of Tommon's eyes and lit up the room. They began traveling through the cave.
"It's rather... wet in here, isn't it?" Tommon puffed his fur.
"Quite. Maybe there's something living here. We'd best be careful."
Tommon's ears pricked up. "Saiai, watch out!"
"Waah!" Saiai fell backwards. A huge Alligator-like Digimon burst from the water.
"Oh no!! It's Chonchimon!"
"Who dares enter the lair of Chonchimon?! Prepare to die, intruders! Dark Claw!"
A dark beam of energy shot from Chonchimon's claws. Tommon jumped it gracefully.
"Hah! Is that the best you can do, lizard butt?"
Chonchimon's eyes glowed red. "Arrgh! I'll destroy you, you mangy furbag!"
"What did you just call me?! Alright, Saiai, it's Digivolving time!"
"R-right!" Saiai held up his D3 and called out, "Digi Armor Energize!"
"Tommon! Armor Digivolve to..."
A large shell of armor surrounded Tommon's body. It configured itself into a suit of Shogun's armor, gleaming. A large curved sword appeared in the suit of armor's hand. Two cat-like eyes peered from within the depths of the armor.
"...Shogunmon, the Katana of Compassion."
Saiai blinked. "Wow... So this is the power of Digivolution?"
The huge shogun turned toward Saiai. "Correct. Now, watch as I teach this lizard a lesson!"
Chonchimon seemed unimpressed by Tommon's transformation. "You can't stop me that easily! Dark Claw!"
Shogunmon simply spun his sword and halted the attack. He held up his sword. "Katana Cannon!"
A green beam of light shot from the blade and struck Chonchimon square in the eyes.
"Arrrgh! Infernal Bite!" The monstrous alligator shot forward and attempted to bite Shogunmon's leg.
"Armored Shell!" A large shell of overlapping metal plates appeared in front of Shogunmon, deflecting the attack. "Now, to finish you off! Shining Blade!"
Light gathered about Shogunmon's sword. He swung it downward, slashing Chonchimon severely.
"Arrgh... Curse you!" Chonchimon, although he was dissolving, was determined to finish off Shogunmon. "Arrgh!" It slammed into a nearby pillar, then completely vanished. A loud rumbling noise above revealed what his purpose was.
"He's making the tunnel collapse!"
Shogunmon de-digivolved into Tommon. "Let's get out of here, now!"
Outside, Daisuke, Hikari, Takeru, Iori and Miyako(and their Digimon) were heading back from their battle with Golemon. Daisuke was, as always, running ahead. "Come on guys! We need to get back home before Dinner!"
"Yeah, I'm starving!" yelled V-mon.
Takeru called back, "We're coming, we're coming. Geez, calm down."
Miyako stopped. "Do you guys hear something?"
Hikari stopped and listened. "I didn't hear anything."
"Neither did I," Iori said in his usual quiet manner. "Maybe you're hearing things."
"Well, I wanna look around here for something. I'll catch up with you guys, ok?"
"Fine with us. Just don't get too far behind." Takeru and the rest walked off. Hawkmon, however, stayed.
"Miyako-chan, you've been acting quite strange lately. What's going on?"
Miyako looked down at her partner. "Gomen nasai, Hawkmon-chan. I've just been feeling a bit odd. I have a premonition, if that makes any sense to you."
"It doesn't. Please explain."
"Well, basically I have a hunch that something's going to happen soon, something important. I'm not sure if it's bad or good, but I want to be prepared for it."
Hawkmon nodded. "Ah, I see. So, what are you looking for around here anyway?"
Miyako turned and scanned the ground in front of her. "I was looking for a piece of that Digimon we fought. I was goin to take it home and analyze it, but it doesn't look like there's much here." She looked at the cliff face. "I could've sworn I heard something..."
As if on cue, a hole blew out of the side of the cliff. "What the?!" Miyako turned and tried to run before she was hit by the rocks, but was hit by something heavy before she could get away.
"Miyako? Miyako!"
Hawkmon hopped about the pile of rocks, trying to dig a path to his/her(Sorry, I can't tell, the voice is so odd. O.O) Chosen Child. S/he hefted a rather large rock on top, and revealed a cat-like claw extending from the rocks. "Huh? Who's this?" S/he dug some more, until she revealed the thing's entire body. "My, what an odd-looking pile of fur."
Tommon's eyes snapped open. "Hey, who you callin' a furpile, ya feather duster?!"
"Oh my!" Hawkmon jumped back as Tommon stood up and dusted himself off. He looked around. "Where am I? Where's Saiai?"
"Who's Saiai?"
"Well, he's..." Tommon then noticed the pile of rocks he was standing on. "Oh no! Saiai, holdon, I'll get you out!" He started digging frantically. "Oi, you, bird-thing! Get a move on and help me shift these rocks!"
Hawkmon looked as though s/he was about to object, but then closed his/her mouth and nodded.
"Miyako? Miyako! Wake up!"
Miyako's eyes slowly opened. "Uhhh... Hawkmon?"
The face of Hawkmon hovered above her friend's. "Are you alright?"
She slowly sat up. "I think so... what happened?"
"I'm not quite sure. We found you under a pile of rocks. That human over there apparently landed on top of you, knocking you down, but also protecting you from the rocks. If it wasn't for him, you might not have survived..."
"He... he saved me?"
Tommon, who was kneeling near Saiai, spun around and glared. "That's right he did! And you, bird-thing, quit calling him human! He's got a name, ya know!" He went back to Saiai and kneeled by him. "C'mon, Saiai, don't give up on me yet! We barely know each other, you can't die now!"
A low groan came from Saiai as he stirred slightly. "Uhhhhhhhhh..."
"Yeah! Saiai, I knew you could pull through!" Tommon did a small dance to himself, then jumped back to give Saiai some space.
Saiai stirred some more. He managed to get on his hands, then open his eyes.
"Tommon...?" He looked around some more, then spotted Miyako. "Who are you...? And why do I have the feeling I've seen you before?"
"She's the human you landed on when we burst through that wall in the cave! She might have been killed if you hadn't, because your body protected her from the rocks! Of course, you might've been killed yourself if she hadn't broken your fall..."
"Huh?" Saiai managed to get to his knees. Suddenly, realization hit him. "ACK! I'm so sorry! Are you alright?"
Miyako nodded shyly. "Yeah... I'm ok. Thanks."
Saiai tried to get up. "Gaah!" He fell back down and clutched his leg.
"Are you ok?"
"Uhhh, yeah. I'm just battered some, but I'll be fine."
"C'mon, I'll help you up." Miyako reached for Saiai's hand.
"Uh, thanks." Saiai took her hand, and was pulled to a stand. He noticed how close he was to Miyako, and blushed nearly unnoticeably. She stepped back a bit to let Saiai steady himself. "So, um, who are you? What are you doing here in the Digiworld?"
"I'm Inoue Miyako, a Digidestined. This is my partner, Hawkmon."
"So, that old man was telling the truth. There ARE others!"
Miyako tilted her head. "Old man? You mean Gennai?"
"Yeah. Anyway, I'm Horisu Saiai, and this is Tommon. Nice to meet you."
"Cool. Hey, what's your crest?"
Saiai scratched his head. "Crest?"
Tommon spoke up. "That's that symbol on your Digiegg. Your crest is Compassion."
"Thanks, Tommon." Saiai turned back toward Miyako. "So, what's your Crest?"
"I have two, Sincerity and Love."
Suddenly, Daisuke appeared from behind a bend in the canyon. "Hey, Miyako! Hurry up, already!" Then he noticed Saiai and smirked. "So, having some private time with a boy, eh?"
"DAISUKE!" Miyako turned toward the naive kid and scowled. Saiai simply glared. "We weren't doing anything!"
"Yeah, sure. Whatever." Daisuke grinned evilly. "So, who's your B/F?" He walked up to
Saiai. He pulled Daisuke's goggles back and let them snap back in his face.
"Ow!"
"Baka. We weren't doing anything. Got it?"
"Ok, ok, fine..."
Hikari, Tailmon, Iori, Armadillomon, Takeru, Patamon, and V-mon then came around the bend. "Hey guys!" Miyako called out.
"Hey Miyako. Who's this?" Hikari asked, looking at Saiai.
"Konnichiwa. I'm Horisu Saiai. Pleased to meetcha!"
"And I'm Tommon, his Digimon!"
"Saiai's a Digidestined. His crest is the crest of Compassion." Miyako started introducing her friends. "Saiai, that's Yagami Hikari. Her crest is Light, and her Digimon is Tailmon."
Tommon's jaw dropped when he saw Tailmon. He edged toward her. "Heheheh... Hi."
Tailmon glared at him. "Don't even think about it, cape-boy."
"The kid with the goggles is Motomiya Daisuke. His digimon's V-mon, and his crests are Courage and Friendship. That's Takaishi Takeru, with Patamon. His crest is Hope. And the short kid is Hida Iori. His digimon's Armadillomon, and his crests are Knowledge and Reliability."
"Hmmm, cool. So, you guys all have Japanese names as well?"
"Um, duh, we ARE Japanese," Daisuke said in an obvious tone of voice.
"Cool! I'm not, actually. I'm from America. My real name isn't actually Saiai. But I like the Japanese version of my name better, plus I'm gonna go to Japan someday to live."
"Alright. By the way, Miyako, what took you so long?" Takeru asked inquisitively.
"Well, Saiai busted through a wall in the cliff over there. It caused a rockslide that he and I got buried under. Tommon and Hawkmon had to dig us out."
Saiai rubbed the back of his head nervously. "Yeah... Me and Tommon got chased into a cave by a bunch of Impmon. We were able to keep them out of the cave by pushing a rock in front of the entrance, but we ended up sealing ourselves in with a Chonchimon. Tommon was able to beat him, but he ended up causing the tunnel to collapse. We had to bust our way through a weak part of the wall to escape in time."
"Well, we had best get going," said Takeru, checking his watch. "It's getting late, we better get home."
"Alright. C'mon guys," said Daisuke, once again taking the part of leader.
"Err, wait. How do I get home?"
Daisuke looked indignant. "Figure it out yourself!"
"Hey, Saiai has a point. If he uses the same TV we do to get to the Digiworld, he'll end up in Japan with us. I'll e-mail Gennai for the answer."
"I agree with Yagami-chan!" Daisuke said, doing his usual 180 of attitude.
Saiai looked confused. "How can you e-mail him? We don't have any computers here." Hikari then pressed a button on the side of her D3, and it changed into the Computer-like version of it. "Oh, Ok. I obviously need to learn a lot more about this place. Maybe you guys can fill me in some while we wait for a response from Gennai."
Fifteen minutes later...
"Alright, I think I've got this down. This kid named Ichijouji Ken was terrorizing the Digiworld, and you guys came and stopped him. But it took a while, and now he's good. He has the Crest of Kindness, and his Digimon is Wormmon." Saiai paused for breath, then continued. "There are several levels of Digivolution. Baby, In-Training, Rookie, Armor, Champion, Ultimate, and Mega. There are also some Digimon whose level seems higher than that of Mega, and there are other Digimon that seem to be somewhat in-between levels. Is that basically it?"
Takeru nodded. "There's more, but I think that's all you need to know for now. Hikari, did you get a response yet?"
"As I matter of fact, I just did. Come read it, everyone." Everybody gathered around to
read Gennai's E-mail.

Digidestined:
I see you've met the newest Digidestined, Saiai, and his Digimon, Tommon. He didn't come here like you people did. I had to bring him here by my own force. Now, as for what to do with him, he won't be able to go home until your mission is over. I'll explain exactly what his mission is tomorrow. Until then, I suggest that you guys figure out how he'll stay over your places. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a chicken in the oven.

"So, we're stuck with him until whatever we need to do with him is over and done with? This sucks!" Daisuke kicked the dirt aimlessly.
Saiai grinned widely. "All right! I can't believe I'll be going to Japan! Wait until Kai and Heza hear about this!"
Takeru looked up at the name Heza. "Huh? I know a girl named Yakanori Heza, she's friends with my older brother."
Saiai blinked. "What? Yakanori-chan lives in Japan?! I can't believe she didn't tell me! Arrgh!"
"Guys, we need to make a decision. Who's house is Saiai going to stay at?" Miyako pushed her glasses up her nose as she spoke. "Maybe we should E-mail Koushirou. He should be able to figure it out."
"Or maybe we should E-mail Heza. Saiai seems to be pretty good friends with her."
"Why do we have to even take him? Let's just let him sleep out here in the Digiworld!"
"I have an idea," said Iori, who had stayed quiet throughout the entire conversation. "Our apartments are all pretty close together. Let's just go home and call the others. We can decide after dinner what to do. During the meantime, Saiai could just stay on the roof of one of our apartment buildings."
Saiai nodded. "Great idea, Iori. But, can one of you bring me something to eat? I'm starting to get hungry..."
Miyako smiled. "Don't worry. My dad owns a store, and I borrow food from him all the time. I'll bring you something."
"Thanks, Inoue-san. Now, let's get going, shall we?" Saiai started off in a direction, then turned back toward the group. "Um, where's that TV thing you guys were talking about?"
*****
Oi. This is the first large part of my Fanfic. It's incredible that it only took me like 5 days to write all this. If this keeps up, I should get this thing done before March. Which won't happen.
Anyway, stay tuned for more stuffage from me. Ugh, Saiko writing is harder than I thought... Oh well. I'll have to do a lot more of it in the future. ^-^'
