DisclaimerI don't own Digimon, so keep the law suits away from my house!!!

Dragons star: (short note) I rewrote the chapter and replaced the corny paragraph in the ending. Oh and some info on the story- This is my explanation on things that happened in the season that weren't explained or weren't explained enough. It's basically an OC story though not entirely. There's going to be six made up characters and two people coming back for an encore. After most of you finish the chapter you'll have a small idea of who they'll be.

Also, for those of you who don't know, this is 'My Past, Your Future'. I just changed the name and rewrote it. Hope you like the chapter!

Digimon: Base ZERO

By Dragons star

Prologue:

Regrets hurt just as much

They're coming for me. Every corner, filled with everlasting shadows. Each piece of darkness never ceasing, they were always growing, torturing me to the ends of my very soul. They reach out for me, longing to consume me in their growing darkness. My light was dying, how much more of this could I take?

The hall was so long, the longer I ran the more the grief inside me grew. I ran as fast as I could, no longer holding the strength to soar past them with my now sulking wings. I couldn't stand it, I felt like collapsing. I felt like dying right then and there… but I knew my soul could not bear seeing their faces again as they see the failure in my eyes. I had to stop this, now or never.

I slowed my pace and walked passed the last yards of the hall. At the end of the corrupted hallway were a pair of large stone double doors, ancient writing was encrypted upon the surface of each one, none of which I understood. I looked to the side and saw two large knight-like statues at each doors side. Although chipped in many places they stood tall and strong, looking as if they would stand there forever to protect the contents of those doors. I sighed and opened the double doors with what was left of my strength.

And then as I entered the room I saw them, eight pedestals each holding an egg with a symbol decorating its shell. They were said to hold this world's eight strongest beings, ones that were said to watch over this world. I walked up to them and stared, could they really hold such gods? Would my efforts be in vein? Would everything I sacrificed be at the mercy of a mere myth which held no truth? No, I could not think such thoughts; I would rather die now then lose the little hope I have.

Staring straight at the eggs, I opened my mouth to say something but I froze. What could I say to mere eggs? They were the same as the ones from primary village; I could not get help from mere hatchlings, now I know it's hopeless. I felt tense, my hope was depleting once more. I tried to move closer to them, but I failed. I fell to my knees, struggling to stay conscious. I used all my strength getting here and opening those blasted doors! What would my colleagues say if they saw me now? I was a Mon who was considered a hero, a living legend respected by all. A being determined to save this world and lead his fellow Digimon to peace. But I'm not… I'm a failure, even death would be considered an honor compared to this!

My tears began to fall from my eyes, dripping through my helmet. But I didn't care, there were no other survivors to see my shame, just me.

"You consider death as a great honor. Some would disagree with you, you know?" I raised my head with strain, trying to find the source of the voice. Could I be hallucinating right now?

"Who are you?" I yelled out. I expected an eerie silence, to prove my sanity's destruction, but something, to my surprise came up.

"Just someone who knows more about death then all you digimon put together. Scratch that, you're the only one left!" it said in a mocking tone, laughing at my pitiful self.

I felt anger and frustration boil through me, how dare he insult me like that! Ignoring the burning pain, I stood up on my feet and searched for the voice so I could pummel who ever it was into oblivion! "Show yourself fool! I will not be insulted by one who hides in the shadows!"

He laughed again "See; now you're back on your feet again, instead of crying like a puppy kicked to the curb!" I looked down, he was right! I no longer felt the pain as much as before. It must have been his mockery that helped me overcome such misery.

I felt awkward "Um, thank you, I guess. If it wasn't for you I would've-"

He cackled like a mad man "HAH! Such words of pity are useless to me! I could've just let you drown in your little world of self pity and depression! You're lucky I decided to even care!" He continued to cackle. I clenched my fists as hard as I could to keep in my anger.

"Oh shut your mouth, Death! Don't you see he's here for our help?!" Okay, now I was confused. This was another voice; it seemed it was a female this time. Well at least this one knows why I'm here.

"What, here to spoil my fun, Life? It's been a couple of hundred thousand years since another living being came to visit us. Do you really think I'm going to let this chance up just so we could fulfill our so called 'duties'?" Their names are 'Life' and 'Death'? This is getting interesting.

Suddenly another voice spoke up out of no where "Death, he needs our help, there are no two ways around it. He stepped through the doors of truth. Someone without a true reason couldn't possibly come in here and just talk to us" It was another female voice. Are there more of them?

My question was answered as another mysterious voice joined the conversation, this time a male "You know she has a point, such matters cannot be overlooked. It's not like we have a choice in the matter anyway, we HAVE to help him"

The one named 'Death' groaned "Oh great, NOW you're both awake?! Why don't you just crush my happy hour why don't you?!"

The female named 'Life' seemed to be getting tired of his antics. I don't blame her, so am I! "Look Death, I know that you're as cramped and bored of this place as I am, but Time and Space are right. We CAN'T just run away from our duties like they were literal chores! This poor being doesn't need your childish attitude, especially with what's happening outside"

Death growled "CHILDISH?! Wha-?" before he could finish he was interrupted by another male voice.

"Death, I want to mess with this guy as much as you do but… we just can't. Those consistent shadows are raving in the hall for crying out loud! If they were to pass the doors of truth somehow, think of what would happen to us! You're forgetting that we're in trouble as well" How did they know of what's happening outside? Could they be the ones I've been seeking after all?

As if I haven't been surprised enough, another voice enters this deliberate gathering "What's this? Yin, you're acting mature for once, we must be in more trouble then I thought!"

The one named 'Yin' seemed offended "Yang, I don't need you to tell me when to be serious! Even I know when we are needed" Six voices? According to the myths and stories there were eight mystical guardians, where are the other two?

As if reading my thoughts, the one named 'Time' spoke up "Where are those two? We can't exactly do anything if everyone isn't here. Light and Hope should be awake like the rest of us"

"Oh that," 'Space' seemed tense on the matter "When he had entered the chamber I sent Light and Hope to check out our situation on the outside. They said they would notify us if anything in particular happens"

I knew I had to speak soon, they probably forgot about my existence by now "Um…" I suddenly heard silence, so I continued "I have come for your… assistance. As you probably know, a new evil has threatened our world, destroying everyone and everything. After all my troops had been deleted, I've decided to take a final risk, to find this temple and gain the strength I need to save what's left of this world. I ask of one favor from you, please grant me the power to diminish this evil" I heard silence, did they decline my plea? Or did they just disappear?

"Ah, so he is the one that Death was tormenting" This new voice seemed to be talking to someone.

"Yes, well there is much for us to do; we can't discuss this forever. Death, we have trouble on the surface" Well at least I knowthese two must be 'Light' and 'Hope'. So, the myths and legends are true then, these are the ones that will help me defeat this evil. Would they really help me?

"So, it's really happening, the wall between the worlds is collapsing" 'Death', unlike his carefree mood that I've heard before, seemed stressed. I heard a sigh, "I guess we really have to do this, huh?"

"Death, don't worry," Life seemed just as stressed as Death "We will give as much help to this being as we can"

"Saraphimon,"The one that just entered the room, 'Light' spoke to me "We have come to a final decision; we will give you the power you seek. This will help you stop the evil that has threatened this world for so long but… you do realize the consequences for using such power?"

I sighed, how could I not? It would not destroy the digital world, but it would… No, I cannot think that way, I will be reluctant to use it if I did "Yes, I do know what would happen. But at least I would know that his evil will not reach another world"

"Quite the decision you've made, good luck to you," 'Death' seemed saddened "We will do what we can, from here"

Suddenly I felt an incredible power surge through me; I felt my strength and more come back to me. I looked up to see the eggs glow brightly from their pedestals. The light was so bright that I had to cover my eyes. When I looked up again the eggs had vanished! I stood up and looked at my surroundings. The torches that covered the walls of the temple were dimming. I knew it was time. I began to walk towards the exit, knowing my fate once I do this; this decided the entire world's fate. Right before I stepped out I turned my head and whispered a small thank you to the empty room. This is the only way to save the digital world…

CrystalDramon: Well at least this version revealed more, and look you even revealed his name!

Dragons star: I'm glad I rewrote this too; the whole verge of death thing was no excuse for me to write the corniest piece of crap in the history of

CrystalDramon: Yup, and you replaced that one corny paragraph with TWO pages worth of dialogue.

Dragons star: Oh I forgot something; I'd really appreciate it if those of you who read this reviewed. In the review, put the things you liked and didn't like in this chapter. Or at least something you think I should fix. Counting on what it is, I may fix it. And NO FLAMES!!! Constructive criticism works though.

CrystalDramon: I'll make sure she updates, so don't worry about it.

Dragons star: See you next time on 'Digimon: Base ZERO'.
