AUTHOR'S NOTE: I'm going to go through all my Digi fics and use the new character option...whee. This story isn't about any particular characters, though. I can't choose Original character as an option. (Why don't they have the digimon as characters? WHY? **yells dramatically** WWWWWWWHHHHHHHHYYYYYYY?)
But I'd like to just offer a tip to any people who've been having a hard time finding the fic, considering all the tons of Digimon fics. You can either search for this fic under it's title, Moonlight Hybrid, or search for my author name, Jinako-chan. I'm sure most people already know how to do this, but I thought I'd just mention it.
The Four Gods idea stolen from Fushigi Yuugi, to a degree.
On with the fic!
"Four gods?" Reiko repeated, looking at me. "What are they talking about?"
"I...I don't know..." I said, stepping back. An image of a black turtle flashed through my mind, along with a white tiger.
"Are you okay?" Reiko asked, shooting me a concerned look. I managed to nod, somehow. Then I pictured a phoenix, and a large blue dragon...
I felt very odd. Like there was something important for me to do, something big...
Lighting! Without warning, thunderbolts crashed in the room. Reiko screamed, and all the glass bubbles the hybrids had been in opened. Then, quiet. No more bolts of lighting...
"Culu! You're a big meanie!" I heard Culumon's voice shout out. Nervously, I looked behind me. Surely enough, there was Culumon. A couple of seconds later, most of the hybrids rushed over to see him. It was pretty cute, to be honest. Culumon was really enjoying the attention he got from the hybrids, which were all thrilled to see their "Lord" again.
After a while, they all parted and looked at me. Okay, Reiko and me.
"Hey!" Toge shouted, looking at me. I definitely recognized those oversized boxing gloves.
"You're that guy I fought with, aren't you?" she asked, hands on her hips. I nodded. Toge blushed.
"I'm sorry." she muttered. "I don't know what was wrong with me then...do you forgive me?" she asked, holding out her hand. I hesitated, but then I shook it. Toge was practically beaming.
"Hey." A guy in the crowd spoke up. He had a large red, spiked shell on his back and small antennae poking out from his head. "Sorry to interrupt, but I am curious as to where Grey and Devi might be." he said.
Reiko and I exchanged tense glances. "Well..." I muttered.
More lighting came raining down on the room, and then I was grabbed off my feet among the screaming...
"So you guys didn't find anything either, huh?" Takato asked, looking at Jenrya. The taller man shook his head.
"Not a thing." he sighed. Then he bit his lip. He had a gut feeling there was something wrong...
"Have either of you guys heard from Kiiroishi and Reiko?" Jenrya asked Ruki.
"No, we haven't." she admitted.
"Yeah, I am kinda worried." Takato said. "I think they would've contacted us by now, whether or not they found anything. We did give Reiko the cell phone, after all."
"Maybe that's the problem." Renamon said. Everyone turned to look at her.
"What do you mean?" asked Jenrya.
"Maybe something found them."
"Hey! Let go of me!" I shouted, kicking at whatever was holding me. A small yellow, bug digimon was clenching me by the shirt in his mouth.
"Put him down, Kunemon." Yamaki instructed. The bug dropped me.
"So did you make Kunemon strike your office?" I asked Yamaki.
Yamaki smirked. "You really are smarter than I've given you credit for."
"Thanks for the compliment." I said, rolling my eyes.
"What do you want with me Yamaki? I want some questions answered now." I added, glaring at him. Yamaki took off his sunglasses and placed them down next to the table he standing by. It was the first time I had seen him without them. His eyes looked very tired, and very angry.
"You want answers? Fine." Yamaki said.
"It all begins about eighteen years back." Yamaki said, sitting in a chair back the desk. He pulled out a pack of cigarettes and took a smoke.
"The time when my Dad became a Tamer?" I asked. Yamaki nodded. "Yes. Now, let me finish."
"Hypnos had just started growing, a small branch of the government assigned to deal with the digimon. They were, as you likely know, created by a group of college students, including your grandfather. The government funded the project, of course. The plan was to originally promote the digimon as companions for children. Toys, if you will. Then we started building the power levels and so on of the digimon, until they were combat ready." Yamaki said, taking another long drag of his cigarette.
"Combat ready?" I asked. Yamaki nodded. "Haven't you wondered why, if there was a possibility of the digimon becoming real, they would be given attacks like the ones they have? Wouldn't it be dangerous to the public? Well, they were meant to be." Yamaki sighed.
"But we couldn't control the digimon. So, Hypnos was created to exterminate the threat. Unfortunately, things didn't quite work according to plan. First, there were the Digimon Tamers. Secondly, our own equipment was very unstable..." Yamaki broke off and swallowed a lump in his throat. "We were testing a new program called Juggernaut, which was something like a digital vacuum. The headquarters exploded."
I glanced over at Yamaki, who seemed to have a very tense look on his face. "I had a girlfriend, Reika Ootori, at the time. She was killed in the explosion. So...I rebuilt Hypnos." Yamaki smiled smugly. "For a while, I continued on pretending to destroy digimon, but what I would do is actually collect their data. I needed it to begin my hybrid project. I had been analyzing the ways digimon bio-emerged long before the explosion, out of curiosity. I used the method of creating false proteins, data, and DNA to create you and your kind."
I looked at Kunemon, and he scurried away. "Why?" I asked Yamaki, my voice barely above a whisper.
"Various reasons. Most of them were weapons, to be secured until they were needed in battle. But you, my foxy friend, are a different matter. Have you heard the legend of the Four Gods?" Yamaki asked me.
I nodded. "Yes, I have." I said quietly.
"Well, my friend, they have a digital form. Just like the ones in legend, they will grant a wish to whoever summons them. I want you to summon them and ask for Reika to be reborn."
I have a favor to ask of the readers...do you think I should change the genre of the story? I think it's more of a Mystery/Romance or Mystery/Drama story now...
