New World
Rutee got up after her fall. She looked over at Atwight, who was also brushing off her fur. The Kitsune Digimon had mysteriously acquired a dark blue scarf that was now hanging around her neck.
'What's up with that?', thought the woman, 'She didn't have it when we were in the Real World.' Rutee put her hands on her hips, and felt that her sword was gone. Instead, she had a pair of daggers, hanging from a hilt on each hip. She grasped them, and held them up where she could see them. Their hilts were golden and their blades silver. On the bottom part of the blade, just above the hilt, there was a sapphire water droplet imbedded.
'Now I know I didn't have these,' she mused. Then she put her hand in her pocket, and found that something was in it. Rutee pulled out a small, somewhat rounded box with what appeared to be a screen on it. She also found a small blue tablet with the same water droplet in the center. Rutee inquired, "Hey Atwight, what is this?"
Atwight walked over to her master. "That would be your Crest and your Digivice. The Crest marks you as Digidestined, while the Digivice can be used to find information on the different Digimon you encounter. Used together, you can help me to Digivolve into a more powerful form."
"Where did they come from?" the woman asked, "I know they weren't there before. And what about these weapons, what are they used for?"
"They are more or less used to defend yourself should something evil attack. I can take care of any Digimon we encounter, but Demons are a different story," Atwight replied.
Rutee realized that she was thirsty. Luckily, there was an oasis nearby, so she walked there. When she looked into the water, she realized that her appearance had changed. Granted, she still was a medium height woman with black hair and violet eyes, but her clothes had changed. They still kept the same style that Rutee was used to, but the coloration had been altered. Her shirt, boots, and belt were now a dark blue, and she had two dark blue armbands. No sign could be seen of the leather belts she usually wore wrapped around her clothing, or the shoulder guards and gloves. On the shirt and armbands she could see a Yin-Yang symbol just like Atwight's.
She said, "Well, it looks kind of cool. Besides, why should I fret over what I'm wearing? I've got to go and defeat the evil forces here. And I've got to find my mother, wherever she is."
Atwight smiled. "You have big ambitions Rutee. I understand how you feel. After all, you were only a little girl when your mother left for the Digital World."
Rutee sat down crossed legged on the ground. She looked up at the Digital World's sky. It was nothing like the one back home. The warrior wondered what her mother thought, looking at this thing every day of her life for the last eighteen years.
"Atwight," began Rutee, "Why did she go? What was going wrong here that it required a Guardian? And why did she never come back home?"
"Well, there was a small war between the Virus and Vaccine Digimon in the Southern Region. Your mother came to put it down, but she knew that she probably wouldn't be home for years. It's happened to only a few members of the Katrea family, but it happens every time there is some sort of conflict between two groups. You worried that she might be dead?" inquired Atwight.
Rutee whispered, "Yeah. I really would like to see my mom again. I've got to tell her what's been going on back home, and about father and Emilio. She deserves to know."
Atwight put her paw on Rutee's shoulder. "Don't worry Rutee. We'll find her somehow. She probably wants to see you too, I know how hard it had been for her to leave you behind."
Rutee stood up. She knew that moping would do her no good. What she needed was to find some action. And she wouldn't find it just sitting around all day.
"Atwight," she called, "Let's go. We've got some evil forces to smite and I don't want to wait around here for them to find us. I want to have the element of surprise on my side."
"That's the spirit Rutee. Let us go and find them before the whole world comes crashing down around us, and we are either trapped here or killed," Atwight chimed in.
They began to walk through the desert, looking lost. Rutee had no idea how to leave the wastelands of the Digital World, or even where her enemy might lurk. Atwight was faring no better than her master. After all, even Digimon who have lived here for many years don't venture far from their natural habitat. And Renamon has ever lived in the desert.
Soon, they came to a large cliff. It was a relief to Atwight, who had begun to worry about night overtaking them. So they decided to make camp on top of it, and continue on in the morning.

The next day, Rutee awoke to an explosion. She looked down and saw a group of Digimon running. There were so many different ones, that she didn't take the time to see what each was. A voice yelled, "So, you must be the ones that I seek. If you two surrender, I won't hurt you at all. But if ya try to fight back, I'm afraid that I'll have to hurt you."
Rutee looked up and saw a devilish little Digimon in front of her. He was almost completely black, except for the white on his face and the yellow smiley face on his stomach. The creature was wearing a red bandanna on his neck, and a pair of red gloves. There were three clawed nails on each foot, and his ears were fat, and curved more like a Demon's horn.
She looked him strait in the eye. "Atwight, let's go! Here we are, our first battle together."
The two Digimon stared each other down. Atwight was determined to fight the stranger to protect her master, even if it meant her death. But before she could start, a voice screamed, "STOP!"

Who interrupted Rutee's fight? See it next chapter. Well, if you've been wondering why I keep saying Kitsune, it's Japanese for fox. It was also a mythological fox spirit, much like the Unicorn or Phoenix.
