Part 13: Welcome to the Digital World!
The being and her very rare Digimon sat, discussing the arrivals of their unexpected guests...
"I see that they all have arrived here safely," the woman sighed out
in relief from her throne. Beside the throne sat a big, clear
crystal orb on a stand. Using her powers, she can view any and
all parts of the Digital World.
"If you say so," muttered her Digimon.
She looked awat from the crystal and to her Digimon partner.
"Why do you sound so negative?"
"I don't know," the Digimon sighed while stretching out its neck to get a better look at the orb, "but I just sense a flaw within this plan."
"Do not be so negative, I am sure that all will be fine."
"If you say so," the Digimon replied doubtfully. "I just hope that the Holy Beast Guardians know what they are doing."
The wavy-haired woman stared at her partner as if one had smacked her in the face. "You should never doubt the words of our Guardians," the woman fumed. She normally remained quite calm and reserved, but what her radiant Digimon partner said plucked a nerve with her. "They have told me these things and I believe them. They have never been wrong before and my visions have never been wrong before either. Even the great Guardian of the Southern gate is helping me and he has always been pretty much on his own."
"That is true, I suppose," her Digimon nodded, hating the fact she had upset her life-long friend, "but I still have the feeling that something bad will come of this."
"Let's just continue watching over these children and see how they will do."
The being's Digimon nodded as a projection came up from the crystal orb showing each area that each child should've ended up. It showed a tropical area, a snowy area, a place that was right by the ocean, a place near a factory, and one place that seemed to be emerged by fire.
"It seems that you could have miscalculated," the Digimon pointed out, noticing all of the Chosen Children's features. "For all of them are now younger."
"That was my intention," she responded dully. "The younger they are, the better our chances."
"You know that they will need a change of clothing seeing as how they are years younger."
"I can't do that," the woman said, surprised that her Digimon would mention such a thing. "It is not like I have spare clothing lying around."
"It's like you made a mistake, then again, maybe not," the Digimon said in confusion. "Some of them have clothing that fit them, while others do not; or either they may have a mix of both. Some of them seem to have extra objects with them as well; this is very strange."
"I did the best that I could," the lady said. "Let us all hope that they will cope with their change okay."
"Qinglongmon-sama (Azulongmon) of the East, Xuanwumon-sama (Zhuqiaomon) of the North, Baihumon-sama of the West, Zhuqiaomon-sama (Ebonwumon) of the South," sighed the Digimon, skeptical over the entire situation, "I hope that you, the four Holy Guardian Beasts of the Digital World, truly know what you are doing by having these children brought here."
*Note: I have no idea if those English names are right or
not.
The English names are the one in the (), btw. All I know is that
it's confusing! They should've stuck with the original names.

Koushirou was lain out on the ground. He had finally awakened
and tried to investigate his surroundings. He tried to stand up,
but he was still feeling a bit dizzy and light-headed from his strange
abduction.
"Ow," the boy said while holding his head. "I wonder what happened."
He then remembered the classroom, and his being separated from Miyako.
"Oh my gosh! Miyako-kun," he gasped. "I have to find her!!" The boy cupped his hands around his mouth and started to shout out, "Miyako-kun, Miyako-kun!"
After calling out for the girl, Koushirou heard a voice that obviously belonged to that of a girl, whom of which mumbled, "Quiet down, some people are trying to sleep around here." The young boy crawled towards the sound of the voice. Luckily, the person was only a couple of feet away from him. He saw a young girl lying down in clothing about 2 sizes too big for her.
"Miyako-kun?"
He shook his head and realized that this couldn't have been Miyako. For he didn't remember Miyako wearing a red shirt and a green skirt. When separated, Miyako was wearing her typical school uniform, which Koushirou felt looked nice on her. He crawled over to the girl so that he could be a bit closer. He then shook her awake.
"Um, excuse me," he said while shaking the girl gently.
The girl sat up and saw the boy, but soon screamed.
"YOU PERVERT!" the girl screamed in English, ready to knock Koushirou senseless, her right fist bawled. "GET OUT OF MY ROOM BEFORE I TELL MY DADDY ON YOU!!!" She swung before he could even answer.
"Wait, hold it," the boy pleaded back in attempted English, just barely avoiding the young girl's swing, "this isn't your room!!"
The two stopped arguing and Mimi stop swinging. The two then stared at each other and came to a surprising realization...
"MIMI-SAN!!"
"KOUSHIROU!!"
"How are you," both asked in unison. "I am fine, thanks for asking!!" Both laughed, realizing they had said the same thing at the same time.
They both then stood up, but fell back down to the ground. They both realized that their clothes were a tad bit too big for them, but for some odd reason, their shoes fit them.
"What happened to my outfit," Mimi asked while taking notice of herself. "My skirt looks like a dress now, my shirt looks like something I could use for bed, or either something my mother would wear since it's too big for me, and I am wearing my old shoes I tossed out years ago since they didn't fit anymore!"
"My voice," Koushirou panicked while holding his throat. "It sounds different!!"
"And you are shorter than me too," Mimi pointed out. "It has been a while since you've been shorter than me."
"This is not Prodigious at all," the boy exclaimed. "What is going on!! I am about 5 inches shorter, my voice seems higher, and my clothing seems to be too big for me now."
Mimi was having her own troubles. Her skirt wasn't that much trouble, especially since she had a belt, but her shirt was causing her the most trouble. Her shirt kept falling a bit revealing her shoulders. Her unmentionables were giving her some trouble too since they didn't fit anymore, especially up top.
"I can't walk around like this," the girl complained. "My shirt keeps falling off!!"
She didn't mind revealing her body - the most she ever revealed on herself was her midriff and her legs pretty much since she was a skirt wearing girl - but she never wore really revealing clothing, unless it was a bikini. She didn't like the idea of her shirt hanging off of her, showing off her underclothing.
"I don't like this," Mimi whined in annoyance. "Koushirou, what is going on?!?"
"I have no idea, Mimi-san," the boy responded while scratching his head. "I don't even know where we are."
The boy squinted his eyes to try to get a good look as to what was ahead of them.
"All I see is what looks to be a factory of some sort."
"It looks like the Digital World to me."
She tugged on her sweater again.
"I can't walk around the Digital World in my underwear," the girl shouted out in exasperation. "I wish I had a change of clothes," she muttered.
Koushirou stood there for a moment, thinking for a bit. Mimi wondered what he was thinking about and was about to ask, but he spoke up first...
"Sorry," the boy apologized. "I just got lost in thought there about your walking around in your underclothing, and---"
"You pervert!!!" the girl interrupted furiously.
"No, no, I am not thinking of anything like that," Koushirou insisted. "I was trying to come up with some type of a solution to your problem that wouldn't require you to have to walk around in your undergarments."
"Oh," the girl said, calming down.
"Wait, I have an idea."
Koushirou took off his uniform jacket and handed it to her.
"What's this for," Mimi asked, accepting the jacket.
"I can get along fine without it. It should be big enough to cover you; besides, with the way I am now, it's too big for me."
"Oh, thanks," Mimi smiled.
She put on the jacket and buttoned it up. Sure enough, he was right. It covered her quite well and she didn't have to worry about her shirt falling off and anyone seeing. The jacket was big on her too, but wasn't dragging like it was on Koushirou.
"How did you get here," Koushirou asked Mimi suddenly.
"Well, Michael and I..."
"Michael," the boy interrupted, trying to figure out whom she was referring to.
"Yeah, you know, Michael," the girl said, as she thought of ways to describe him. "He has blonde hair, a bit tall, he is a very nice boy and has a Betamon for his Digimon partner."
"Oh, okay," Koushirou said, remembering the person. "I remember him now."
"Well, we had just got back in from hanging out. He took me out to the 86th Street East, it's a movie theatre over on 86th street, and then we went out to Ray's for a slice of pizza over on 94th street. It has the best pizza ever!! If you guys ever visit New York, I will surely take you there!!"
"I will keep that in mind."
"My parents weren't back yet so I asked him to stay a while," Mimi continued. "I was then going to practice some songs I had to sing for tomorrow. All of the songs are by my favorite singer, AiM!!"
"People know about her in America too?"
"You'd be surprised as to how many people enjoy her music."
"Prodigious! And here I thought that what you were going to perform to your class was unknown, which is obviously wrong since you said everyone knows of her."
"Anyway, a strange wind filled the room and a beam shot out from my Radio/CD Player and pulled both Michael and me in. We then found ourselves in this weird, tornado looking thing and we tried to stay together, but we both ended up separated. The next thing I know, my chest is glowing in one spot in the shape of my old Crest of Purity which leads me to you."
"Fascinating," the boy said in a pondering manner.
"We have to find Michael," Mimi said with a sad look upon her face. "I lost him! We tried to keep together, but I lost him!"
"Do not worry," Koushirou assured her. "He is probably in another part of the Digital World, that's all."
"I sure hope so," the girl said, wiping away her newly fallen tears. "I just hope nothing bad has happened to him."
"I am sure he's okay, we are."
Mimi sighed and decided to try and get Michael off of her mind. She knew that worrying wasn't going to help the situation any.
"So, how did you get here?"
"Miyako-kun and I stayed after school to work on a project of hers," the boy explained. "She was programming a computer game based on our Digimon and our very first adventure, our encounter with Devimon, and she even programmed the game to play the perfect theme for him."
"Cool," Mimi smiled. "But Devimon is someone I definitely don't want to remember!"
"No kidding," Koushirou said. "I definitely wouldn't want to have to encounter him again."
"So, what else happened?"
"Well, we were working on that project and the game was based on four characters: Iori-kun, herself, you, and me. After she finished it, I told her I wanted to try it out so I did. All of a sudden, the entire computer lab was shaking as if we were experiencing an earthquake and the computer we were on, shined out a bright light and a wind from out of no place filled the room. It is scientifically impossible for something like that to happen, but anyway, the computer we were working on started to pull Miyako-kun in. I tried to pull her away from the weird portal, with some help from a fellow student, but it didn't help. She was pulled in along with me and..."
The boy trailed off, coming to a shocking realization.
"Koushirou?"
"OH NO, AINA-SAN!!"
"Aina?"
"She was with me," Koushirou said in alarm. "Oh no! I am sure she that she doesn't know a thing about the Digital World!"
"Who is Aina?"
"She is just some girl in my class who treats me like royalty or something," the boy said in a 'no big deal way,' but that soon changed when he thought of his other friend. "But let us not worry about her, we have to find Miyako-kun! I hate the fact she isn't here!"
"What about Aina," Mimi asked with her arms crossed in a semi annoyed fashion.
"Oh yeah, her too."
"I wish I knew why we are here," Mimi sighed. "And where is Palmon or Tentomon?"
"Well, it has been a long time since we have seen them last," the boy started with a frown. "You don't think that they could be---"
"Don't even say it," Mimi shouted at him before he could finish his sentence.
"Okay, I won't, but do we know what the life span is for a Digimon?"
"Koushirou, don't say such things!" the girl ordered, covering her ears. "Don't think things like that!"
"But why aren't they here?" he asked calmly. "They always greet us whenever we come to the Digital World. They always find a way to find us, we never find them."
"Maybe we were brought back to the Digital World to help them," Mimi said, removing her hands from her ears. "Maybe they are in trouble!!"
"Could be. That would definitely explain why they aren't here."
"So, what do we do now?"
"I think we should go to that building I saw in the distance and see if we can get some help," the boy suggested, "or maybe if we are lucky, we will find Gennai-san and then maybe he can tell us where Miyako-kun, Michael, and Aina-san could have ended up."
Mimi nodded in agreement and the two of them started off towards the
building with the many smokestacks that resembled a factory...
