Ch. 1: Meet Spritemon
Hello. My name is Verdanamon. I suppose you've heard of the Digidestined? Of course you have, who hasn't. Then...perhaps you remember a special friend of the Eighth Digimon. His name was Wizardmon, and he is perhaps the most forgotten hero of the time. This is not his story. It's mine. But he was my connection to the events of the Digiworld, from where I had been...
Perhaps I'd better start from the beginning. Such a long time ago. I was still in my Rookie form, Spritemon; a strong rookie, but no match for the average champion. I had been assigned to guard the Tokomon village...
* * *
Spritemon was playing with the Tokomon of the village one day, when she smelled a strange Digimon off in the woods. Recognizing the scent, she called out to the Tokomon.
"Everyone, lockdown, now! Ogremon's coming!" The Tokomon filed obediently into the huts...all except one. "Hurry along, there," she told him.
He looked up at her hopefully. "Let me stay? I can help fight!"
She smiled at him, but nudged him toward the huts. "Brave one, I'm afraid you'd just be in the way. I'm not sure *I* can handle this guy, and he'd eat you for breakfast." Seeing the look on his face, she added quickly, "Tell you what. You can lead the evacuation if things get nasty."
"Ok, Spritemon! I won't let you down!" he said, and scampered off into the huts.
Just then Ogremon finished crashing through the bushes, and stood at the edge of the village. He was immediately confronted by a green fox-like creature with red stripes and highlights. "Ogremon!" she shouted, "I am this village's guardian, Spritemon! Leave now or prepare to do battle!" She knew better than to think that he would leave, but it was traditional to give some kind of a warning before attacking.
"You puny thing!" he roared, "I'll crush you to a pulp, and have the Tokomon for dessert!" Formalities completed, he attacked. "Pummel Whack!" he shouted, swinging his enormous club. She dodged it easily.
"Fox Bite!" she shouted, snapping her teeth together. Red energy flew out in a wave, shaped like the two halves of a bear trap, and closed together just as they hit Ogremon. He roared in pain, but kept coming. He swung his club again, and this time it connected, throwing her to the ground. **Ugh. I can't take much more of that!** she thought. Aloud, she shouted, "Tokomon? Now would be a good time to evacuate!" She saw them start filing out of the huts and into an area they had prepared with burrows for them to hide in. While she was distracted, Ogremon attacked again.
"Pummel Whack!" he roared once more, hitting her from behind. She flew a good hundred feet before she hit. Feeling something give way, she realized that she'd broken a couple of ribs. She lay on the ground for a moment, praying for some sort of intervention. None came, as she'd fully expected it wouldn't, and she struggled to her feet once more.
"So, the little squirt still has some fight left? I'll change that!" Ogremon charged, and she gritted her teeth. **At least I'll go down in flaming glory,** was the last coherent thought she expected to have.
Ogremon neared, and shouted "Pummel-" just as Spritemon shouted "Fox- ". They were both interrupted by a new voice, coming out of a nearby bush.
The voice shouted, "Magical Game!" A strangely dressed humanoid Digimon leaped out and threw a blast of sky-blue energy at Ogremon. The virus-type was thrown backwards into the underbrush.
"Aargh!" he shouted. "I'll be back someday, Spritemon! And I'll make sure there are no other Champions in the area!" With that, he disappeared into the forest.
Spritemon collapsed onto the ground with a faint moan. The stranger lifted her gently and carried her inside one of the huts. He laid her on a bed, and she was instantly asleep.
************************************************************************ So, what do you think of the first installment? Don't worry, there'll be plenty more. And I'm still writing some of it. So please review!
Nina: So you finally got this typed up, huh? You've only had it written out for *three years*!
Verdanamon: Tell me about it. I've been waiting for *ages*!
Sylvia: Be quiet, you two. I've had a lot of other stuff to do.
