A/N: Boredom reigns supreme, and yet ideas come into my head as I endlessly fight random Pokemon in Ruby version.
Ryu: .............. I refuse to comment on that.
Drake: Well, welcome to our motly crew of prey for Alpha's thoughts, Poke counterpart of me. You're lucky you've only been through three chapters so far.
Disclaimer: I don't own this........ I don't even know Monodramon's champion form, how can I own Digimon? Oh, yeah, Yugioh not mine either. Shayla and Chincillamon belong to Gema J. Gall, writer of quite a few standout fics that you should read. I own Drake, Dracomon, Lara, Roan, all future OC's, including original Digimon [such as Gohmon last chap], and the cool new Digivices, which we'll learn more of this chapter.
Lara: *fumes*
Drake: Look, I know Alpha's currently leaving you out of the picture for a while, but I'll start threatening, and-
Lara: It's not that! I found out WHO Alpha is using for Dracomon's base personality, and fighting style!
Alpha: Urk, start the chapter!
Drake: Hey, wai-
***************************************************************
Tommy: Hey guys! Last time, Drake, Yugi, and the others all got sent to the digital world! They didn't wait long before meeting a few friendly Digimon, and even sooner after that that they met this big meanie, Gohmon! The Digimon gave it their best, but they were about to get flattened! All of a sudden, Dracomon showed up and blasted the bug! But then he turned around and yelled at the others for being 'amatuers'! But this guy named Gennai showed up, and told them to come with him! I hope this is a good idea.......
***************************************************************
"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll all agree this was a good idea on your parts." Gennai assured. The group was currently hiking up a large hill, some Digimon flying/hovering.
Drake, like the others, still had nervous doubts. For one, Lara was missing. Another reason was the certain uneassyness between a few Digimon and humans.
Renamon, floating slightly above the ground, cast nervous glances toward Yami every few seconds. Demidevimon was floating well away from Kaiba.
And Dracomon...... he was flying high above them all. Every so often he would stop, positioning his wings to hover, and glance down at them. Then, he'd grimace and cast a glare, and spin back into a flying position.
"So, you're a dragon Digimon? Cool!" Joey grinned at Veemon. "You may not look it, but believe me, size can be decieving!"
"Thanks!" Veemon said, slightly happier. Dracomon's rant had lowered his natural peppyness a bit.
"I can add to that. More than anybody, I can tell that what you see isn't usually what you get." Drake said disdainfully. He had quite enough knowledge of that: His father, and even Buster, who was now Roan, were etched into his mind as great failures on his part.
"I still don't understand." Ryo complained." Gennai, I know who you are, so tell me, why isn't this MY digital world? This one is blaringly different!"
"I'll tell you.. some of it...... when we get there." Gennai assured.
Ryo groaned, though with the tone that he had expected that.
"I still don't understand this." Shayla said. "So, you're made of data? we're inside some giant program, or something?"
"That's right!" Chincillamon said cheerily." Everything here's made of data, even you guys now!"
"We're here!" Gennai said suddenly. He walked over to a tree, tapped the bark in a few seemingly random areas, and a hole appeared.
Seto smirked." Whoever you are, it seems you bear no shame in ripping off J.K. Rowling."
"No way, you read Harry Potter, too?" Joey asked.
Time and Space seemed to stop on the word 'too', trying to take in the fact that the two of them had something in common.
Drake and the others walked in, and eventually the two thawed out, glaring at each other, and followed.
A few descending stairways later, they entered what looked like the standard sort of house for someone living in the country, except for a large DVD player, a computer, and several aquariums of fish munching on fries.
"Welcome to my humble little abode. Not much, but that fact means 'not much' for my bills, too." Gennai said. He walked over to a podium that strangely came out of the floor, followed swiftly by twelve seats.
Each human and Digimon, except Dracomon, sat down. He folded his arms and turned away, standing in a far corner of the room.
"Okay, first of all, I'm quite sure all of you are wondering "Who the heck is this weirdo, and why did I follow him to this copyright debatable house?"." Gennai summed up their thoughts. "Well, consider me a sort of tour guide, without the free hats. You humans have stumbled into the digital world, obviously, and I bet you're wondering why."
"Are you always this obvious and vague at the same time?" Seto snapped." Get to the point."
"Shut up, Bluey." Drake whispered.
"Can it, Red!"
"BOTH OF YOU, QUIET!" Yami yelled, shocking them both back into their seats. Many of the others applauded lightly at Yami's favor to their ears.
"In answer to your question, most likely yes." Gennai said," Anyway, all of the humans present here have been selected, it seems, by the digital world itself, to help save it. I know this must be a shock to you, but I know you guys have quite an interesting history."
Mostly everyone sighed in admittance. Shayla groaned, wondering how she got caught up in another strange mess.
"Well, my guess is that the little remaining force that drives the digital world saw you all as a possible hope for the future, and brought you here-" here, he was inturrupted by Drake.
"Then where's Lara!? She was with us when this happened, where is she!?" He demanded.
Gennai, confused, looked at his list." That's odd, must've missed one. Ah, well, she'll probably show up sooner or later."
The four non-millionaire humans were holding the furious dragon-lover back, barely. Seto tried to release some insult, but failed as he realized it might be his last living act, as Drake was slowly inching forward.
"Okay, okay, I'll try and find her, just settle down and stop the threats!" Gennai said, edging away. Drake sighed, and was pushed back into his seat by the sudden loss of force.
Gennai sighed, rubbing his temples as if he was used to this reaction, somehow." As I was saying, you've been chosen to save the digital world by partnering with these Digimon. As such, that makes you all Digidestined, humans destined to save our world!"
"I thought so." Renamon said quietly.
"But, which Digimon partners whicha' us?" Joey asked, looking left and right.
Gennai pressed a button on the vid screen, and it immediately showed images of them, connected by lines to certain digimon. [Remember Takato's flag? Those kinda images.]
Yami-Renamon.
Shayla-Chincillamon.
Roan-Kotemon.
Joey-Veemon.
Seto- "What, how can I get paired to such a stupid human!" Demidevimon shouted as the chibi image of his entire body, not head, appeared.
"Watch it, feathered bowling ball." Seto spat.
Drake-Dracomon.
"No way!" Dracomon yelled furiously as a pouting mini image of his face appeared." I refuse to be tamed by ANY human, leave me out of these stupid antics!"
Drake glared." Hey, you COULD be a little less arrogant, you know. I saw you kick insect butt out there, but you can't do everything alone! I for one could be an authority on that fact!"
"Just watch me." Dracomon said venomously, glaring back.
Shayla raised her hand, ending the uneasy silence after that." Uh, Gennai? I'm not using my Scales, so how can I see? I'm supposed to be blind, but I need the Scales to change that!"
"The digital world is your answer to that." Gennai explained, turning from the still glaring partners." The fact that you've all become data means that your bodies appear the way they would if there were no unnatural illnesses or defects. For example, a paralyzed person could run for miles on end in this world. I'm afraid the effect is only for this plain of existance, however."
"That can't be true, Joey still looks like a dog." Seto chuckled, blocking Joey's punch from behind.
Ryo looked up grimly." You still haven't answered my question. This isn't the digital world I know, because I lived there for months, I'd know if it was! Where are we? And are the others-Takato, Rika, and the rest- here too?"
For the first time, Gennai sent a look of grief." Ryo..... I....... that's a question I can't answer now, all kidding and cryptic madness aside. You're not ready yet for the answers."
This sure didn't change Ryo's grim expression for the better. He looked down again, more worried than ever. Monodramon patted him on the back comfortingly.
"Fine, whatever." Dracomon said finally." I'll tag along on this stupid quest, but I WON'T accept help for you, or help you out. I'm doing this because idiots like you are going to attract stronger Digimon for me to fight, and that's all!"
"Seto, you've lost my #1 Disrespect position." Drake mentioned, narrowing his eyes.
The dragon Digimon 'hmphed' again, and walked outside.
"Well.......yes......" Gennai said, slightly taken aback by the turn of events." I say you kids should stay here tonight, it's getting dark, and I have more to say, in the morning."
"Thanks." Roan said. He had been quiet since Gennai appeared, taking in all the sights, and, when they came to the house, absorbing all the information thoughtfully. Kotemon was just as quiet, though he looked with slight respect at his new partner during the explanations.
Renamon blinked as Yami suddenly reverted into Yugi.
"Alright, your turn to explain some things." She said warily.
"My name's Yugi, Renamon. Yami's sorta my darker half, and he's the spirit of this Millenium Puzzle!" he explained, holding the Item up.
"Interesting, now I get it." She said thoughtfully." I was wondering why you felt different than ordinary humans. I thought my sense was going haywire."
"Lights out!" Gennai said, flipping another switch. The chairs abruptly fell, and all those still sitting felt themselves fall into quickly appearing sleeping bags.
Drake, still angry, was glad to have a softer bed than the ground outside. Still, it felt......scary, because, for the first time in months, Lara wasn't beside him. If something happened, he couldn't protect her...............
***************************************************************
"Now, all Digimon can be divided into three different types: Vaccine, Data, and Virus. Normally, Vaccine types are good, and fight for justice, but they can be manipulated to the side of evil. Virus's, like Demidevimon, are normally evil, but can be toned down to just being annoying with proper training."
"I'll annoy YOU!" Demidevimon threatened, quickly pushed back into his seat by Seto.
"Data types are basically the universal fighters, able to be evil or good depending on their upbringing. Normally, Virus are strong against Data, Data beats Vaccine, and Vaccine beats Virus. Of course, you have to take into account the overall power of the opponant, obviously."
"Obviously. Can we get going now?" Ryo groaned.
"They can, you can't." Gennai said, shocking them all." I'm sorry," He added to the furious look," I can't explain that right now, either, but trust me, you'd only be endangering them!"
"Like they aren't going to be LESS endangered if he stays?" Dracomon cracked, stepping halfway in." Who really cares, anyway? Let's go!"
Drake stared at his D-Navi as if it was defective." So, these Digivices, or D-Navis, are what makes us capable of bringing out a Digimon's full power?"
Gennai nodded as Drake tapped the watch-like device, and Dracomon gagged.
"Well, if I can't go," Ryo sighed in surrenderance," You guys take care of yourselves, okay? It's kinda off-setting, not being there to help newbies."
All male digidestined scowled at this, Shayla groaned.
To BE CONTINUED.......
Tommy: Aww man, I thought he said he was gonna explain stuff, but he only said the basics! But why can't Ryu come along? I hope we'll find out eventually, but till then, stay tuned to Digimon: Digital Monsters!
***************************************************************
