Prelude:
The Open
Gate
It was a stormy night at the Masters' excavation site. Suddenly lightning hit a large gate-like structure. An eerie glow came around it causing a gateway to another world to open. Six people stood infront of it watching it in wonder, but suddenly they were sucked into it and a data-like dust burst from the the gate and then was sucked back in.
Meanwhile, a few meters away a young child stood looking at what had happened. He was frozen with fear as a giant skeleton wolf jumped from the gate and began to walk towards the child. The child then looked around to see if his parents were anywhere, but what he saw was four other children doing the same as he and all seemed scared of the monster coming towards them. Suddenly beams came from the gate and hit the children, only all but one partially hit the children, but the one that full hit the child it hit became a sphinx-like creature that attacked the other.
"You're a Sphinxmon. Hahahahaha, a champion digimon that can't scratch me." the skeleton wolf mocked quietly so the children couldn't hear him. "I think not, SkullGarurumon." the sphinx creature replied as it attacked. Both fought and after awhile both were close to the gate. The sphinx creature pounced the skeleton wolf into the gate and as it did the skeleton wolf slashed at it and both turned to the data-like dust and which was totally sucked into the gate which shut imediately.
The children ran towards the structure to find nothing of what had just happened. They looked at each other and as they turned back towards the gate their parents came and took them away from each other to at that moment never see each other again.
Monthes later the one child's parents died. He and his bother, who was nearly three years younger than him, were given to foster parents, who were distant relatives. For a few more monthes he was taken care of by them until the day before his brother's birthday.
That night the child couldn't sleep, something seemed to keep him awake. As midnight came a gate smaller than the one he had seen before. From it came a human-like creature who waved his hand above the child putting him asleep. The creature then picked him up and took him through the gate, where the biggest adventure of his life was about to begin.

The boy woke up near a campfire. "So, child, you've finally awaken." a voice came from behind him. "Who...who are you?" the boy asked. "I am Merlimon. And you're probaly going to ask why I took you. It's because my master wants you. By my understanding he'll probaly try to destroy you. I don't see why, you don't seem right now to be a threat to him." the creature answered him. "Please don't take me then. If you do that I'll be your friend." the boy pleaded. "My...friend? I've never had a friend before... what is your name?" Merlimon asked. "I'm Shawn." the boy told him. "Well, Shawn, I sense that if I don't take you to my master a great thing will happen. You are special and need my protection. Something in me tells me I must. So in the morning we leave to find some help." Merlimon said as he sat on a log. "Thanks, Merlimon." Shawn said as he went to sleep.
The next morning Shawn woke to find Merlimon looking at the sky. "Whats wrong?" Shawn asked. "We must hurry, I've already sent for someone to help but by the time we meet him my master might know I've gone against him and come to get you and destroy me." Merlimon said as he motioned Shawn to hurry. Shawn dashed into the forest ahead of Merlimon. Merlimon chased after to catch up.
"So, he's gone against me. That fool thinks he can get help, well I'll get him before he can even get close to help." a vampire-like creature told the gremlin creature that had just told him Merlimon had turned against him. "Yes, Master Draculmon, but he's sent for Genni." the creature told his master. "He'll never get to them." Draculmon said as he left his throne room.
Merlimon lead Shawn through the forest so he could get attacked. Shawn was keeping up to Merlimon quite fine. "You're really agile for a child your age." Merlimon commented. "Yeah, I've always been like this. And I feel safe with you around. Just like I did when that sphinx creature battled that skeleton wolf." Shawn said as he got walking next to Merlimon. "So, you've seen a SkullGarurumon before. And you saw a Sphinxmon fight it. Interesting, you must be special as I sensed." Merlimon said as he raised his hand and sent a ball of energy into a tree. Then from the tree a froglike creature fell. "What did you hear, Gekomon?" Merlimon asked it. "I heard nothing, please don't hurt me." the creature trembled. "Go, before I change my mind." Merlimon motioned to it. It then ran out of the forest's edge a few feet away.
As they came out of the forest, Merlimon and Shawn found themselves at a dead end. "What in the...this doesn't belong here!" Merlimon said surprised. "Because its an illusion to trick you, traitor." a voice came. "Draculmon!!" Merlimon yelled as Draculmon and two of his gremlin minions appeared. "Grab the boy, I'll take out the traitor." Draculmon ordered his minions. They grabbed Shawn while Draculmon fought Merlimon. Merlimon sent a greenish grey beam at Draculmon to stun him but missed, then Draculmon grabbed Merlimon and did something to absorb Merlimon's life force. After he drained him, he threw him to the ground. Merlimon laid motionless moaning. "Merlimon!" Shawn yelled as he was dragged away. "I'm sorry." Merlimon said as he began to turn to digital dust. As Draculmon and his minion flew off with Shawn a figure in a white robe came from the forest and kneeled down to speak to Merlimon. "Genni, you're too late, they took him." Merlimon told the figure. "Then I should hurry before something bad happens." the figure said as he stood up. "Don't underestimate Draculmon." Merlimon warned him. "I won't." the figure said as he ran in the direction of Draculmon's castle.
"Let me go!" Shawn yelled from high up. He was tied up in a rope hanging over a lava pit. "I will, into that pit. You are destinied to defeat me and cause me to never be my master's successor." Draculmon explained as he began to cut the rope slowly. "Please no! Ahhh!" Shawn screamed as he began to fall but was suddenly caught by the robed figure Genni. "Genni!" Draculmon hissed as Genni landed. "How dare you try and kill this young boy. You should be ashamed." Genni scowled. "Why, he's my enemy. Now die! Dracul Beam!" Draculmon yelled as he sent a beam at Genni, but he dodged and grabbed Shawn and jumped out a nearby window.
To a hidden lab Genni took Shawn. In the lab was robed figures like him. Shawn was injured because he was partially hit by the Dracul Beam. Shawn was taken to a room to get some sleep. But as they entered the room Shawn saw Merlimon on an operating table still turning into digital dust. "Merlimon!" Shawn yelled as he ran to his friend. "You're ok. Good. Now I can go knowing you're not dead." Merlimon said as more and more of him slowly became data and disappeared. "No, you can't die!" Shawn said as Merlimon fully disappeared. "NO!!!" Shawn began to cry then suddenly his eye began to look like flames, "Draculmon, I will destroy you and have avengence for my friend who you killed." Genni had been watching and then realized that Shawn was no ordinary child. "Shawn, were you at an excavation awhile ago?" Genni asked. "Yes, I saw a monster there." Shawn told him. "Come with me, I think I know how to help you get rid of Draculmon." Genni motioned him to follow.
In the main part of the lab Genni scanned Shawn and used the data to create a devise he called a digivise and something called a tag and crest. Genni then hooked them up to an egg. "Now, this will get you a digimon of your own, but maybe if I work hard enough I can make something that can help you fight Draculmon." Genni explained. "Ok, then start working." Shawn told him as he went to an empty room to go to sleep.
