Hsi Wu, Demon Sorceror of the sky, was bored.

Sitting on one of the countless floating rocks in the
demon realm, he mentally listed his miseries for the nth
time.

Item: The batteries in the video camera from the mortal
realm had long since gone dead. It had belonged to that
confounding mortal girl, Jade Chan. She was the only
thing on the tape. The others questioned why he still
hung onto the camera. They thought it was for sentimental
reasons. The fools. He was just trying to get the
batteries working again. This camera was the most
entertaining thing around barring Shendu.

Item: He and his seven brothers and sisters were the only
living things in this dimension. They had been exiled here
millenia ago and left to rot. They had just a taste of
freedom a couple years ago, but were thrown back in here
by a combination of Jade's family and Shendu's
incompentence.

Item: Reduced to spirit form and blamed for their
predicament, Shendu was helpless to prevent the others
from taking out their frustrations on him. Hsi Wu would
have joined them, but the others were hogging all the fun.

Item: Since Hsi Wu and his brothers and sisters were the
only ones in this dimension, there was really no one to
pick a fight with. The siblings had long since established
a pecking order. Frustrated, Hsi Wu really wanted to work
off some pent up...

"SPIRAL TWISTER!"

Completely unexpected, Hsi Wu was blown off his perch into
the void by an unexpected energy blast. Ancient reflexes
kicking in, he dodged the next attack. Quickly, he located
the source as...a little pink bird?

Obviously, it was a demon of some kind, and its magic
tasted odd. Hsi Wu didn't pause to wonder where it had
come from. A fight was a fight.

***

"What is it?" Xiao Fung, the Wind Demon, asked curiously.
He poked at the little pink bird inprisoned by Hsi Wu's
magic, eliciting a skawk.

"This brothers and sisters, is a digimon," Hsi Wu
proclaimed triumphantly.

There was a slight pause as the others digested this fact.

"What's a digimon?" asked the gaunt Wind Demon, Xiao Fung.

"It's um...a kind of demon," Hsi Wu said. "That digs?"

The others looked at the digimon. It was flapping its
wings furiously, trying to free itself. It looked more at
home in the air than under ground.

"In other words, you don't know," sneered Tso Lan, the
Moon Demon. "Perhaps a better question might be, where did
it come from?"

"It came from...came from..." Hsi Wu paused. He turned to
the digimon and wacked it on the head. "Hey, you! Stop
that. We want to know where you came from."

The digimon paused in its frantic struggles. "I came from
the Digital World, and you better let me go or else."

"Digital World?" muttered Dai Gui, the Earth Demon. "Never
heard of it."

"Never mind that," Tso Lan said testily. "What are you
doing here?"

"I was going to the Real World," the digimon told him. "Is
this it? It's not like what I've heard from the others."

The Demon Sorcerors sniggered.

"'Real' is really a matter of point of few," Tso Lan
mused. "For example..."

"Stick to the issue, Tso Lan," interupted Tzang Zu, the
Thunder Demon. "Don't go philosophical on us."

"Barbarians," Tso Lan muttered. He turned back to the
digimon. "What have you heard about this so-called 'Real'
World?"

"Well, the Real World is where humans live..." the digimon
began.

"Humans? You can get to the Human world from this Digital
world?" Shendu, the discorporate Fire Demon, asked.

"Quiet, you," ordered his current keeper, Po Kong the
Mountain Demon.

"But, I have a plan!" protested Shendu.

"Not another plan!" moaned Xiao Fung. "Your plans never
work."

"They work! It's just the ex...ah, implementation could
use a little work," Shendu argued.

"Hey," Po Kong rumbled, "I said..."

"Hold, Po Kong," Tso Lan interupted. "Shendu is correct,
unfortunately. His plans do work. His implementation of
those plans, however, leaves much room for improvement. I
wish to hear his plan."

"Really?" Shendu asked.

"Then WE, not you will execute it," Tso Lan added. Echoes
of agreement came from the others.

"Brothers, Sisters," Shendu began slowly, "you are all too
untrusting."

"With good reason," muttered someone.

"We can all implement this plan," Shendu said. "And best
of all, there is nothing the Chans can do to interfere!"

***

In the Digital World, eight digieggs appeared. After a
time, they hatched.

Shendu rose from one of the eggs, luxuriating in having a
body again, albeit a digital one. As the others emerged,
he roared in triumph.

"Brothers, sisters, we're free!" he proclaimed. "And soon,
we will..."

"SHENDU!!!"

Surprised by the outraged voice, Shendu turned to look at
the others for the first time since leaving their prison.
They looked...different.

"Look at us, Shendu!" an angry Po Kong squawked. "We're
tiny..."

"And weak," grunted Dai Gui.

"And, ugh, cute!" Hsi Wu concluded.

"This is just a temporary set back, I assure you," Shendu
assured them nervously, backing away from them slowly.

"GET HIM!"

Turning on his heel, the newly hatched Shendumon ran for
his life.
