DISCLAIMER: I do not own Big O or any of the characters. All are property of Sunrise and their respective parties. Digimon belongs to Toei and their respective parts. I don't own that either shows. I am not making any money on this story either.
AURTHOR NOTES: This story is a Big O Digimon Crossover. This story also features some of my own theories about Big O as well. This is also a slight AU for the Digimon part of the story, Gatomon has the ably to go to her Ultimate Level of Angewoman, like he did in the First Season of the show.
SETTING: Reminder the Digimon Episode of His Master's Voice, the episode where Kari is brought to another part of the Digi World by other Digimon. At the end of the episode we see a huge shadowy Digimon with red eyes come out of the water. What if she wasn't really in the Digital World, but in Paradigm City and that huge Digimon-like creature weren't a Digimon, but a Megadeus?
After the dream, both Kari and Roger try to think about it while still maintain a normal day in their lives, but they found out that it harder than it sounds.
Timeline: Digimon takes place one mouth after the Final episode of A Million Points of Light and for Big O is takes place right after R-D. Yeah, Roger beat the three Megadeues that came out of the water toward the end of the episode.
Keepers of the Light
Chapter 2-The Day After
The Alarm Clock beeped and with that Kari knew that it was time to do to school, she might be a Digidestined, but she was still a child and that meant that she had to go to school and learn things. Like many days before this one, she got up with no problem, but she still was thinking about the dream that she was having last night, it still burns into her mind. She knew that she was there before, but somehow she was in a different spot of the same world and that huge thing that was trailing her, it still sent chills up her spine just thinking about the thing. It was like nothing that she had seen before, despite the fact that she had been in the Digi World many times and she knew that Digimon came in various types and shapes that when compare to the things in this world looked weird. If that thing was a Digimon, it was one that she had never seen before, but she guess that there were tons of other Digimon out there right now that she hasn't seen before, this was due to the fact that the Digi World was so big. If the thing was a Digimon was a good or was a bad Digimon, but she had funny feelings that it was a bad one because it was chasing her and it was dress all in black.
Even with that on her mind she manage to get dress for school that only took a couple of minutes, she look at herself in the mirror to see how she looked. She saw that she was dress in her pink outfit that was clean, her hair was brushed, and her Digital camera was around her neck. Seeing that she knew that she was ready for school, but to make Gatomon happy she ask for her option on how she look. The cat type Digimon agrees that was in perfect condition to go to school, the only thing that she needed to do right now was to eat her breakfast. So with that gone she went to the kitchen area of their apartment, in there she saw that her older brother, Tai was also there. He was also eating his breakfast as well, in his typical fashion, wolfing it down as fast as he could with their mother making her typical heath food, that even a dog would eat and their cat, Mako, was eating her own breakfast as well.
"If you kept eating like that, you will cause pain in the long run," said Kari.
Tai jumped at the sound of his younger sister and he had a drop of sweat down the side of his face to show his sock at the sound of his sister's voice. "Kari," was the one thing that he manages to get out.
"No need, I can get my own breakfast," she said.
"It's not that, it the fact that you are up so early, you don't have to get up for another half hour," said Tai.
"That was your alarm, I thought that it was mine, well no need, it look like that I am going to enjoy my breakfast, unlike you, and Tai it look like you have some cheese on your face," said Kari.
Again Tai was hit with that news, but he still felt his face and found out that she was right, he did have cheese on his face. He knew that if he went to school like that and he would be in trouble with that. At the best that might come out of that was that he would get picked by the other kids and the worst that could come out of that was he would be send back home to get clean up. So Tai clean up his face with a washcloth and Kari give him the nod, he was okay to go to school.
"See this afternoon," said Tai as he walked out the door and with that she went to get her own breakfast that was cereal.
"So, I see that the dream haven't affect you as much as it did last night," said Gatomon.
"Gatomon, I am going to school, and I can't let something like a dream affect me," said Kari.
"You said that last time, and I almost lost you to that strange dark world," said Gatomon.
Hearing that Kari reminder that world were everything was missed up, that everything that should have been full with light was full with darkest and how some Digimon had brought her to that world so that they she free them from the dark rings that were put on them by Ken. She would of done that for them, but she was stop by Airdramon and it wasn't for T.K. and Peagusmon, coming to save the day, she would have been killed by that winged Digimon, that Gatomon, in her Ultimate Form of Angewoman, deleted with her Heaven's Charm attack.
"I know, but it just one dream, how can one dream be that major," said Kari.
"Okay,' said Gatomon said in a voice that accepted the fact that Kari wouldn't talk about the dream again, but she still had funny feelings that this would come up again, sooner or later. She like many people prefer that the thing would happen later, rather than sooner, but she knew that it wouldn't happen like that, so she prepare herself to go jumping into another dark world to defend Kari from the dangers that world would present to her.
She watch her eat her breakfast and she could believe that almost four years ago, she was so determine to killed her, but she knew that was different at that time. She was a lost, misguided, little Digimon that had found evil and was forced into it by Myotismon, she would do almost anything for him. If it wasn't the fact that she went to her world to fine the Eight Child of the Digidestined, she would have had funny feelings that she would still be with Myotismon, serving with same devotion that she had before she meet Kari. It was this taste of darkness and evil that had made her so determine to kept it away from Kari no matter what would happen to her, for she knew what it was like, it was a faith that she wouldn't wish on, even for her own worst enemy.
Gatomon saw that she had finished her breakfast in the way that one should, with ease. Since it was early and it was a nice day out, Kari made the choice to walk to school, instead of taking the bus or asking her mom for a ride.
"Mom, I am going to school," said Kari.
"Kari, isn't it a little early for you to go?" Asked her Mom.
"It's okay, I am walking, since it is a nice day," said Kari.
"All right, you be safe," she said.
"I will," said Kari.
Kari turned her head back to Gatomon, she look at the big blue eyes of hers. "Let's go."
Gatomon nodded her head at that and with that the two of them started their look trek that would take Kari from her home to her school. Outside of her home, Kari and Gatomon took a look at all of the sights that were around her right now, it wasn't the first time that the two of them had seen this place before, nor would it be the last time either. It was just a habit that the two of them did whenever they walked down the streets of this city, but for Kari it was a little different for her, because she was enjoying what she was seeing a lot more than normal. This was because of the dream that she had about that dark world, where it was cloudy and there was no sun shine, seeing that place made her enjoy what she had right now, for here there was sunshine that made the air around them warm on their skin. While in that world it feels cold because there was no sunshine to warm up the place.
That peacefulness that she had right now was broken when she saw something that was clad in black and when Kari saw the thing is stop dead in her tracks. The dream it was coming out in the real world and because of that she knew what it was, it was that huge black thing that was in her dream. The thing was different from it the thing that she saw in her dreams, this one had a weird smile on its face, almost like the smile was demonic evil smile, while the other one had a forbearing look on the face.
"Gatomon!" Cried Kari.
Gatomon turned her head in the direction of Kari and she saw the fear that was on her face, she didn't ask what she was seeing. She turned in the direction of where she was looking at and sees saw what it was. She knew in a matter of seconds, that thing was no Digimon that she had seen before, but it didn't matter right now, for Kari, her human partner was in danger and that was good enough for her to Digivole to the next level, her Ultimate Level, of Angewoman.
"Gatomon Dig-," started Gatomon.
But before she could complete the process, the thing was gone, just like that.
"Kari, was that thing you saw in your dream?" Asked Gatomon.
"No, it was different, but the size was the same," answered Kari.
Gatomon was puzzled by these series of events, but she didn't have time to think about them, because Kari was off to school. Gatomon knew why she was doing this, and that was because she hoped that school would be a safe place from these dreams, that the Math test that she was having today would somehow take her mind off the dreams.
The two of them made it to school, as fast as they could, and they found out that they had time on their hands, for there was a group of kids waiting to go inside of the building to get their daily amount of classes. In the group the two of them saw that Davis, T.K., Cody, and Yolie were in there as well, waiting to get it as well.
"I be outside, call me if you need me," said Gatomon. Then she walked away to where Patamon was.
"Kari," said Davis.
"Kari, you are a little early," said T.K.
"Yeah, where you Mom?" Asked Yolie.
"I got up early today and I choice to walk to school, because I had to time and it was such a nice day to go out for a walk," answered Kari.
"You right, it is nice day, despite the fact that it is in the middle of winter," said Cody.
The school bell rang and with that the doors where open up, they all walked into the school, to bring their day of classes. One of them was Kari, even with this fact, she still was thinking about the thing that she had seen, she wanted to know what was that thing was, why was she seeing it, and why was it coming out to the real world.
Roger woke up for a second time, this time it wasn't from a dream, nor was on his effort, it was the music from the piano that was being played from the living room of his house. The music was like ice as it went right through him and it took all of his effort not to go off like a rocket at the sound of it. He also knew who was doing it, it was Dorothy, the Android that he had saved from Beck and his lackeys. Then he reach his breaking point, got off out of bed and open up the door. He found out that he was right, Dorothy was at the piano playing a tune that made him crazy, but in a strange way it was something that he had expected to have happen to him every day, for as long as she would call him house her home. That when he heard it, it told him that everything was all right up to this point, when he didn't hear it, even if it was annoying for him, told him that there was something a miss and that he should start to worry.
"I see that you are up," said Dorothy in her monotone voice.
"Thanks to you," said Roger. He paused to think about what he was about to said next to her, even if he was up he was still a little sleepy, the fight between the other three Megadeues at the beach took more out of him than he thought despite the fact that it only happen a couple of days ago. He was still paying the price for that fight and it look like that price for the victory was not only the fact that Dastun know about him and Big O. "You know that I like waking up in a peaceful state of mine and the reason why I like it."
"You also know why I do this," said Dorothy.
Roger put his hand up. "Now that I am, can you stop that, it bad enough to have that wake me up with it, I don't want to heard it all day."
Dorothy did what he told her.
Peace Roger thought. Now I can think without that music getting in the way of it.
The first thing that Roger thought of was that dream again, the dream of where he saw himself at the beach chasing that girl dress all in pink. He didn't know what to make of that dream, it was so out of character for him to do something like that, unless that child deserved it. No, that child didn't deserved Big O chasing her, no child did, for they were innocent, she didn't seem to be that kind of person that would do such a thing to him. He wanted to know why was he doing this, he knew for a fact that he wouldn't do a thing, no matter how annoying the child would be, in the real world, but in the dream world he was doing it.
He focuses on the girl and the face that she made when she saw Big O, she was truly frightened by the thing. As it was the initial time that she had seen a Megadeus, more evidence to him that she wasn't from this city. For her reaction was also different when she saw Big O. She didn't called out "Megadeus", like the people of the city did when they saw Big O, she screamed in terror as if she was afraid for her life. He hadn't met a person that hasn't seen it nor heard about it that calls this place their home. When they did see it, they would call out "The Megadeus" or "Megadeus". The only people that he did meet, that didn't act like they this when they saw Big O, where people that live outside of city, but even then, they heard story about it, even if it was second hand. It seem, to him, that nobody that he knew about, haven't heard about Big O. If they didn't, like this girl somehow manage to do, they would have to been living under a rock for a very long time.
This girl that was in his dream was a puzzle to him, but right now that puzzle had to wait to be solve, for he a life. A life that couldn't be stop just because he had one dream, if he let that happen in his life, he wouldn't do half of the things that he did through out his life. That what he did, he ate his breakfast and after that he went to get a shower, after the shower he got himself prepare for the day. Despite the fact that he had saved Paradigm once again from being destroyed yet again, that didn't mean that people didn't stop living their lives, that meant that his other job, his official job, the one that everyone knew him by, as The Negotiator was still needed. Since that job didn't run on a set time, he was on call 24-7, so he had to be ready at a moment notice for when a job can up for him to work out.
One did, and he had to go back to the docks of this city, it seems that the legacy of the Sea Titan wasn't finished yet. It seems that the fishermen out there were still having trouble on the ocean out there. That was the only information that he had manage to get out and he didn't like this, he still have reminder the last time that he was called to this place, how he found himself trapped underwater inside of a building with a woman that called herself Angel. It was an experience that he did not want to repeat again.
So he put his jacket and his gloves and went out on this job, hiding the fact that he was still thinking about the dream that he had, and it look like that he was returning to a beach. It wasn't the beach that he fought, it was another one, but it still was a beach and that was so strange for him. This was the second time in the same week that he had a dream and a part of it come out in the real world. He didn't let that affect him for he had a job to do.
As he drove the Giffion on the roads that would take him back to the docks of this city, he took a look at the city, even if it wasn't the first time that he did such a thing, nor would it be the last thing he would do it. It was a habit of him when he was on trips through out this city, he saw all of the clouds that cover the sky, everything to seem to be in order, so he turned back to the road ahead of it. He figured out that the trip to the docks would be normal, but he was wrong, this was because he saw something move in the corner of his eye. In a matter of seconds he turned his head in the direction of where he thought he saw a piece of the thing. The thing had moved again, and like before he didn't get the whole picture of what that thing was.
Then he got what he wanted, he saw what it was, it was flying monster that was dress in all red and it flew right pass him, causing him to cut it hard. In a matter of seconds he was out of the car and he saw that thing had moved away from him, but it was still in same area. So he stay low, making himself less of a target for that thing.
"What the hell?" He said at the sight of that thing. He saw that the thing was turning around to make another pass at him and with that he saw the face of this thing, it was skull-like face. That face of its was opening it mouth and Roger guess that it was about to attack him. Seeing that he knew what he had to do, he had to call on Big O to deal with this creature, and he was about to do that, but he was stop, because of two reasons.
One, he had turned his head to his right and he saw that there were two people standing there, looking at what he was doing. He saw their faces and he could see that there was looking at him and not thing that was up in the air.
"Get out of here," he said.
"Why?" Asked one of them.
"Don't you see it?!" Asked Roger.
"See what?" Asked the other one.
"Umm," he said and with that he turned around and saw that the thing was gone just like that, with no trace that it was there.
That was weird he thought.
"I don't know what you were looking at, but there was nothing there," one of said.
Roger got up from the ground and started to walk to other two people. "What? Are you saying that I am seeing things?!"
The two people could see the anger that was in the young Negotiator's face and the level of the anger that he was at scared that two people a little, but they stay firm on what they had seen. They had only seen him, looking at the empty cloudy sky.
"I don't know, maybe you did see something, but I know what I saw and I can clearly state that I didn't see the thing that you saw," one of them said.
Roger was about to said something to that, but then he realized that it wasn't wroth his effort, he picked his battle and this was a battle that he thought wasn't wroth the fight. "You better run along."
They did what he ask and with that he went back to his car, got it and went off on the road heading to the docks, off to another job, trying to stay focus on that task at hand. It was hard because he was thinking about that flying creature that was dress all in red, he wanted know what was that thing, why was it doing here, and why was he the only one that could see it.
I am losing my mind? He asked himself. No, I have to stay focus, this thing can wait, I got a job to do right now and that what matters right now.

What do you think? I think this one is a little weaker than the first one
