This is a work of fanfiction and is not to be taken literally.
Author's Note: In this story, the Digimon Tamers universe as well as some of its monsters will be mentioned.
------Introduction------
It is a known fact among faithful anime fanatics that the laws of physics tend to be a lot less strict in the anime universe in comparison to what we call reality. The laws of physics are still technically in place, they just aren't followed all the time. This would explain why people can materialize things out of thin air, jump extremely high into the air and in some cases even defy gravity altogether. The fact of the matter is, if you believe you believe you can do something strongly enough, odds are you can do it or you can do something very similar to it just because of how strongly you believe.
It is also a known fact that if something really big is going to happen in one of my fanfictions, generally involving inter-dimensional travel or time travel, you can blame it all on Washu. Technology is a wonderful thing, but it is only as efficient as the genius that builds it; or in the case of Washu as dangerous as a mad scientist can make it.
------Anime Crisis Part 1: The Dimensional Transport Device!------
[Larry POV]
"Hey Shiva, have you seen Rachel?" asked Crystal having given up on searching under every possible object in the apartment.
Shiva was lounging on the couch with a glass of lemonade in a hand that was dangling limply over the side of the couch. He looked a little too relaxed for Crystal's liking. He let out a loud snore signaling that he was indeed asleep.
Crystal promptly walked over and flipped over the couch, causing Shiva to spill the lemonade on the carpet. Shiva crawled out from under the massive couch and gave Crystal a puzzled look.
"Have you or haven't you seen Rachel?" asked Crystal again in a more serious tone. She put the couch back where it was supposed to be and made sure it was right-side up again before returning her attention to Shiva again.
Shiva blinked.
"Well?" asked Crystal getting even more frustrated. "You don't want a repeat of last episode do you?"
Shiva shrugged, "You know as well as I do that I could care less about you turning into a dragon. Its more fun that way."
Crystal sighed in exasperation, "That does not answer my original in question."
"Rachel's gone?" asked Shiva.
"Yes. Rachel is gone." confirmed Crystal trying with all of her self- control not to strangle Shiva right there and now.
Shiva shrugged again and took to laying down on the couch again. He noticed that something was no longer in his hand, "I hope you don't mind that there is lemonade on the carpet."
Crystal sweatdropped and stomped off down the hallway back to her room. Shiva was about to close his eyes and go back to sleep when Rachel walked through the doorway across from which you could plainly see a working refridgerator lodged in the wall. She was followed by what appeared to be a cute little dragon, well cute because of the fact that it was actually a child [rookie] level digital monster.
This particular digital monster looked almost exactly like a V-mon [Veemon] aside from the fact that it had black scales where V-mon was generally blue. Its scales were also covered in brilliant gold and silver stripe patterns. There was also the fact that it had green eyes and the claws on its toes and fingers were silver in color. Upon further reference one would clearly notice that if digital monsters had a gender difference, this one was clearly female.
Shiva blinked several times trying to register the event that had just taken place and then recognized the digital monster as Rachel's partner digimon from the first fanfiction he himself had appeared in. Apparently Zapmon was back for another appearence in the realm of fanfiction.
"Welcome back Rachel, I see you have Zapmon with you today," Shiva decided to say at last.
[My POV]
I wasn't sure exactly how to respond to Shiva. This little experiment was supposed to be a surprise and I was reasonably sure that he had been asleep when I had left the apartment to get some help from Washu. So much for the surprise.
"Uh...yeah...you could say that..." I stammered trying to get a hold of myself.
Zapmon took a quick look around the room before lunging across it for the telephone.
"What in the--?!" I began to shout, but was cut off as Zapmon began speaking into the receiver after dialing a number.
"I'd like to order two dozen large pizzas with everything on them," stated Zapmon to the guy at the other end. A little more conversation went on and Zapmon hung up.
*~*~*~*~*
Crystal wasn't particularly happy when she had to pay for the pizzas that Zapmon had ordered. As it was, the little dragon was sitting on the floor eating them one slice at a time. Shiva was eyeing the pizza for all he was worth and anyone who knew Shiva could tell he was going to make a grab for that pizza any second now.
I was sitting on the couch beside Crystal. We had forced Shiva to relocate himself to a chair that was next to, but not directly next to, the couch.
"You've got some explaining to do," stated Crystal in a monotone voice that chilled my blood. This was so not like the Crystal I was used to dealing with.
Shiva made a dive for one of the pizza boxes that was in a large pile beside Zapmon. The boxes in that particular pile were still full. Zapmon lifted a clawed hand into the air and extened her index finger towards Shiva. There was a brief crackling noise before Zapmon shouted, "Silver Lighting!" and a ball of silver electricity collided with Shiva while he was still in mid-air. This initial attack launched Shiva back into his chair at which point he closely resembled charcoal.
Shiva began healing himself imediately and resorted to staring at the pile of pizza boxes again.
"Uh...what's to explain?" I asked dumbly.
Crystal sighed. Apparently dealing with the combined force of Shiva and I was really starting to bother her.
"I thought you said this was not a digimon story!"
I shrugged, "This is only going to be for a little while. Washu and I were testing the dimensional transport device and we managed to snag one of my toy digivices from the plain of existence that is my reality."
"And?"
"Well the digivice wasn't a toy anymore when I pulled it through the device. Then Zapmon appeared and the dimensional transport device sort of shorted out. So we're sort of stuck like this until Washu fixes the machine."
"That's just great," muttered Crystal.
Shiva made another dive for the pizza boxes. Zapmon lifted her clawed hand again and a ball of red hot flame appeared within it. Zapmon aimed it at Shiva and shouted, "Fireball!" before hurling the ball of fire at him. Shiva dodged the fireball in mid-air and made it to the pile of pizza boxes at which point he openned one and started downing the pizza.
The room suddenly took on the appearence of binary code. I blinked several times before an explosion of light blinded me. Apparently we all got knocked out by the fact that we were suddenly going through a process similar to being downloaded into a computer.
*~*~*~*~*
[Larry POV]
Rachel, Crystal, Shiva and Zapmon all awoke in the middle of the digital forest. To their surprise Lip and his little golden dragon were there too.
"Where the @#$% are we?!" shouted Lip at the three other humanoid lifeforms, ignoring the dragon.
"Eh..." was all that came out of Crystal. She was still in too much shock to say anything else that sounded coherent.
Rachel was the one who actually made sense, "Well obviously we're in the digital world."
Crystal recalled what had happened when Rachel had been in her body during her time in the anime universe, before Washu had used that separation device on them. She remembered everything that happened during that time, but it was more like a dream because it had actually been happening to Rachel. Crystal did remember the part about the digital world after the whole Gundam pilots incident with Ryoga.
"Wow! It's the human from before and she brought friends!" said an excite Culumon [Calumon] as he floated over to the group.
Crystal sweatdropped, "Well at least I've been here before."
"Hiya Culumon," said Zapmon waving a clawed hand in the direction of the adorable little digimon.
Shiva grinned, "If we're in the digital world does that mean I get to spar with Raptremon?"
"Not if I have anything to say on the matter," Rachel stated firmly.
If there had been any chance of further clearing up what was going on, it was short lived. A few seconds later a large shadow formed over the group in the forest. It was the shadow of a Black Growmon [Black Growlmon].
Shiva looked up, "I think that means trouble."
"No sweat," stated Lip also looking at the combination dragon/dinosaur digimon that was glaring daggers at the assembled group.
Shiva and Lip both lunged at the digimon and were both knocked into a different tree by an irritated swing of Black Growmon's tail. Crystal sweatdropped at the both of them, but this was also short lived. A dark glow erupted around Black Growmon and a second later Black Megalo Growmon [Black War Growlmon] was standing in his place.
"I guess he was stronger than we thought," said Shiva as he slid down the truck of the tree into an odd heap on the ground.
Lip did a similar thing, but he didn't say anything.
[My POV]
Seeing that things were suddenly going very badly for the group, I looked to Zapmon. Testing a theory certainly was better than being eaten by a dragon. I sighed and removed what had once been a plastic D3 from my pocket and pointed it at Zapmon.
"It's a good thing you ate all that pizza. Now you can evolve," I said indicating Black Megalo Growmon with the index finger of my free hand.
The two cannons on Black Megalo Growmon's chest began to swirl with negative energy. He was charging up his cannons for a finishing blow. Zapmon nodded in agreement with what I had in mind and began to glow along with the digivice in my hand. My plan was actually working.
"Zapmon Shinka [Digivolve To]!" shouted the little dragon as it began to expand in size. The light of evolution surrounded her for a few seconds and when the light faded a new, much larger digimon was standing in her place.
This digimon looked almost exactly like XV-mon [Ex Veemon] aside form the fact that it was covered in black scales where XV-mon was generally blue. Another factor was that those scales were covered in the same gold and silver stripe pattern that had been on Zapmon. There was also the matter of the green eyes and silver claws. The other factor was that its wings and the X symbol on its chest were gold in color.
The new digimon shouted, "Zapdramon!"
Zapdramon held a clawed hand above her head and formed a large sphere of blue fire surrounded by silver electricity and prepared to hurl it at Black Megalo Growmon.
"This is Zapdramon, the adult [champion] form of Zapmon. That 'Dragon Storm' attack is definately going to teach Black Megalo Growmon a lesson he'll never forget," I stated making myself sound somewhat like a robot.
"Dragon Storm!" shouted Zapdramon letting the sphere of flame and electricity fly at Black Megalo Growmon. The attack connected with one of the cannons totally overloading the energy input and output ratios. This lead to a massive explosion.
When the smoke cleared, Black Megalo Growmon was gone and Zapdramon had de- evolved back into Zapmon.
Culumon started doing an odd little dance in the air, "We're saved! We've saved!"
Another flash of light occured around us. I lost consciousness before I even went through what felt like the process of being downloaded.
*~*~*~*~*
[Larry POV]
"I am never going to get used to that," muttered Crystal as she woke up.
Lip groaned before sitting up, "Now where are we?"
"You're starting to sound a lot like Ryoga," noted Shiva.
Rachel sat up and rubbed her eyes, "Has anyone seen Zapmon?"
"No, I think she was probably left back in the digital world because she belongs there," stated Crystal irritably.
"That doesn't explain why we are still in the forest," noted Shiva.
I surveyed the area, "Well this place certainly isn't a digital forest."
[My POV]
"That's a relief," muttered Crystal.
"At least we got out of that alright," I said cheerfully.
Crystal glared at me, "Remind me to kill you and Washu when we get back to our original world. This is your fault to begin with!"
"Lucky for me you can't kill me," I stated with a smirk on my face.
Crystal recalled the explanation I had given her at the hospital about that and instantly lost consciousness again.
"Was it something I said?"
