Digimon: Chaotic Future

Disclaimer: Heh, we don't own Digimon, or anything that goes along with it. We do own our characters, our made-up Digimon, and the Digitechs however. I'm only going to warn you all once; don't take our ideas and use it in your own stories or else I'll bite your head off. Literally. Anyways, that's enough of a disclaimer I think...I hope that I haven't scared any of you off...

Author's Notes: Well, here's the seventh chapter. On a note to the disclaimer, I probably won't try and bite your head off...I'll leave Konamon to do that...Anyways, on to the next, (and dare I say it?) exciting chapter in our ongoing fic! Don't forget to review!

Chapter 7: Chaos from a Digitech

The twins stared as they noticed several different objects falling down from...well, from the sky. At least, that's what it appeared to them. One minute, there was nothing there, and in the next, the objects were falling and soon after they caught sight of them, they had reached the ground. In the faint light, they had seen some shimmering of different colors, reds, oranges, blacks, blues, and yellows.

It seemed that whatever they were, they were different colors, just like there was the possibility that they were different things, as well. It all just didn't make sense to Rikui. He liked to know what was going on, that way, if the need arisen, he could access the situation and try to do something to make it better.

In short, he was a fairly positive kid with a positive outlook on things. He also didn't like it when other people acted rude, and in his opinion, mean, to other kids, especially when they were younger ones. Things like that just didn't make sense to him. He stared at the items that had fallen from the sky, not knowing what to make of them.

Besides him, Flamemon was just awakening. Rikui himself had only woken up a little while ago, just in time to see the items drop. A strange site in his eyes, a site that he had a feeling that he would never see again. At least, he hoped that a sight like that wouldn't greet his eyes when he was not ready for it. Things like that were just too strange.

Ryena had been up for awhile, just like Jinamon was, thinking and contemplating their situation. She didn't know where they were, who the other kids were, and why they were here. Obviously, they weren't in anyplace that she knew, or had seen. Perhaps they were in some small country in Africa, or maybe even in Australia. She knew that places like that had fields much like the ones that they were currently in. One thing she knew for sure, they weren't in the United States anymore, and, some of the other kids probably weren't from there anyways. For instance, she knew that the one dubbed as Frenchie by the girl known as Meg definitely wasn't in her home country; he was probably from France, hence the nickname that he had been given. She stared at the objects as they fell, and as they hit the ground, watching as they glittered in the sunlight.

Besides her, Kerra was by now furiously typing into her computer, trying to figure out what in the world those things were. Ryena herself had no clue, and, she doubted that her brother knew as well. So far, it seemed that most of the other kids were up, except for four of the boys. She didn't know what their names were, and wondered when she would find out. She turned her eyes back to the objects that were now scattered about the field.

Kerra groaned, so far, she had gotten no results on what the mysterious objects were. The fact that she was still half-asleep didn't help either; neither did Critimon's frequent comments, some of which just distracted her. "Critimon, could you please just let me try to figure this out myself? And in my own way?" Kerra finally asked, looking at her Digimon partner.

"Your not going to figure it out that way. You should go over and look at the objects," Critimon replied, shaking her head and looking pointedly at the closest one. Kerra sighed and put her computer to the side before starting to stand up. Rikui however, had all ready beaten her to the object, Flamemon at his side. He was quick on the uptake and seemed to have already figured out that the only way he was going to find out what the objects were would be to pick one up and look at it himself. He was by now, sitting on the ground with the object in his hands, observing it and frequently turning it around to see all of it.

Rikui stared at the object in his hands as he turned it over. It was red on the front, and was orange on the back, a fact that seemed a lot like fire in a fireplace, or a forest fire. The writing on the back of it especially unnerved him. Apparently, the writing was too small for him to read with his current gaze, and so, to fix the problem, he brought the thing closer to his face and squinted at it. Finally, after long minutes that seemed like forever, he was able to tell what it said.

What it said was strange, and made no sense to him. It said "Digitech 5.0", whatever that was. Clearly, this was some sort of new kind of video game or something that somebody had just carelessly dropped, or, maybe it had magically appeared in the sky out of nowhere. However, he ruled that possibility out. Things falling from the sky and appearing from nowhere sounded a lot like magic and he knew from experience, and his limited intelligence, that magic did not exist. It couldn't exist. Magic was for fantasy stories and the foolish people that believed in them and tried to do magic. Finally, he decided to try the thing out and turned it over so that he could see the front of it again.

On the front, he noticed a dark blue screen as well as three buttons: two arrows and a circle in between them. Taking a deep breathe, he pressed the circle, expecting some kind of video game to show up on the screen. That was after all, what the device looked like; some sort of video game.

While Rikui was examining the object in his hands, Gareck sat up, and rubbed his eyes. It was clearly morning, and time for him to get up. He finished rubbing his eyes and looked around. Right away, his gaze noticed Girdramon, still sleeping, as well as Rikui who was examining some sort of object. Scattered around there were 9 other objects that looked like they were similar things to the one that the other boy was examining, even though they were different colors.

His gaze stopped at Rikui, wondering what the foolish boy was doing now. In his opinion, the boy was a fool; he knew nothing of life and the ways things really worked, sheltered as he probably had been in a house and never having to feel the pain of hunger. In his opinion, people like that were all fools. They didn't know the value of life until the time came for them to die, and sometimes not even then.

He had a low opinion of people like that. Whatever the younger boy was doing (he didn't know his name), he had a feeling that it would probably lead to trouble and something happening that wasn't all that good. That prospect didn't appeal very much to Gareck.

After a minute of seeing nothing happening, Rikui pressed the circular button again and was greeted by a loud, annoying sound that caused him to immediately drop the Digitech and clutch his ears. Everyone else that was awake did the same thing, and, the remaining kids that were still asleep were awakened up, Zack among them.

The others weren't too thrilled about that and several protests from them could be heard, none of which Rikui could understand due to the fact that his hands were covering his ears and that everyone was shouting all at once. The Digitech had made a loud sound that could only be stated as sounding like something shrieking loudly. It had also spoken a single word, "Digidestined." That word didn't have any apparent meaning to the young boy.

"All right, whoever just made that loud and incredibly annoying sound, fess up," Zack shouted, sounding angry as he glared at everybody around, sending an especially vicious glare at Meg who he thought had made the sound. A very strange sound.

"I don't know who did it, or what. How could you expect me to know?" Meg asked as she sent her death glare back at Zack who looked away. That boy was starting to get on her nerves. The only people that got more on her nerves were Frenchie, Computer Freak, and the two freaky twins.

"Maybe because you made that sound," Zack retorted, looking back at her.

"I did not!" she protested loudly, glaring at Zack again. Ryena looked over at the two of them. "If anyone made that sound, it was probably the twin over there." She added, pointing at Rikui who was staring at the Digitech, his hands now at his side. Slowly, he reached down to pick the device up again and continued to stare at it like an idiot. "You know, if you keep on staring at that thing with your ugly face, you'll probably turn it into a toad or something just as worse," she called out loudly to him. Rikui sent a quick glare in her direction and went back to studying the Digitech. He missed the glare that she sent back at him.

"Whatever," Zack said simply, looking back at the male twin. Gareck, who had been listening to the exchange with annoyance, snorted. They were stupid and their conversation was pointless. It was obvious that they would never get along. Girdramon snorted; he had a low opinion of the other children. It seemed like none of them had the brains to handle what the one he had chosen could.

"Stop fighting. It's kind of pointless," Jamie said, looking between the ones that were fighting. Meg and Zack looked at him and both glared at him, before looking away. Jamie seemed not to notice the double glare. The group fell into silence, neither wanting to voice what was on their minds.

After awhile of awkward silence, Rikui finally sighed. "Kid with the computer, could you come over here? This thing seems like a video game and yet...I can't get it to play the game that's most likely on it..." he called out, looking over at Kerra. Kerra nodded and stood up. She then began to walk towards Rikui followed by Critimon. When she reached him, she sat down on the ground besides him. "My name's Rikui by the way," Rikui stated, looking back at the Digitech.

"I'm Kerra," Kerra said, smiling, and pausing. "What exactly have you been able to find out?"

"Well, for one thing, it's called a Digitech 5.0...I think...Also, when you press the circle, you get a loud noise..." Rikui said, his eyes still on the device. Kerra nodded, and was about to say something before she was interrupted by Critimon.

"Digitech! That's one of the things that you all need! Flamemon, I'm surprised, you should no this!" the Digimon exclaimed excitedly, over-reacting a little. Flamemon, who was laying down on the ground on the other side of Rikui, looked over at Critimon.

"He didn't tell me what it was," Flamemon said simply to Critimon before directing his attention to Rikui. "Anyways, Rikui, try pressing the right button. Try to see what you'll find."

Nodding, Rikui complied and pressed the right arrow. He then settled down to wait for what would happen, expecting that it would take a little while. It had after all, taken a little while for the thing to work when he pressed the circle.

What happened was not what he expected....

Gareck looked around some more, and then stood up, sighing. Things were starting to get on his nerves, especially since they were just sitting around and not doing anything. Girdramon stood up as well and together, they started to make their way to the device that was all by itself, separated from the others which were somewhat close to each other. When he reached the object, it sat down on the ground next to it and picked it up. The object was a dark blue in color with a dark purple screen. Noticing the three buttons on the front, he turned it over to see the white back, and the small writing on it. It said "Digitech 5.0". That was something that he had heard the male twin saying.

He turned the thing around again and stared at the buttons for awhile. He then decided to try pressing a button and figure out what it said. He pressed the button on the right, an arrow-shaped button, and waiting the few seconds for the object to respond.

Rikui was greeted by a load of information appearing on the screen. It had information on his name, who he was, what had happened in his life, and a small picture of himself. It also showed other information which appeared a little after the rest of it.

Digimon: Flamemon

Location: Digital World

Class: Fire

He recognized one of the pieces of information; Flamemon had said that his name was Flamemon and that he was a Digimon. Oddly, the other two things, the stuff about his location and Class, he had no idea what it was talking about. Those concepts were foreign to him and probably would be for a little while. After awhile of displaying that information, the screen darkened and the information disappeared.

Suddenly, the Digitech beeped and started to repeat "The Field" over and over again. Not knowing what that meant, Rikui sighed and placed the Digitech in his pocket. Obviously, the thing was his since he had his information on it. Unfortunately, the thing kept repeating those two words over and over again, causing his pocket to vibrate a little.

Kerra noticed the information that had appeared, as well as the fact that he had put it into his pocket, and decided to speak up. "So...What do you think of it?" she asked somewhat hesitantly.

"I think that it's somehow mine, since it seems to know who I am and it knows some other stuff about me that it shouldn't know. Perhaps, you might have one as well, Kerra," Rikui replied, turning to look at her and smiling. Kerra nodded and smiled back.

"I hope so," she said, standing up and looking over at the other Digitechs on the ground. She noticed Gareck on the ground, holding a Digitech, and wondered if he had found one that was his as well.

After a few seconds of waiting, Gareck started to read the information that showed up. Apparently, the thing knew his name, his age, who he knew, what he had done, as well as several other things. It also said something about Girdramon.

Digimon: Girdramon

Location: Digital World

Class: Agression

Location and Class? What were those? What was the Digital World? What did the Agression thing mean? Those questions and more went through Gareck's mind rapidly. He had no idea what was meant by what the device said. He sighed, and pressed one of the other buttons, an action that resulted in the screen becoming blank. Sighing again, he placed the device in his pocket and looked up to see what the others were doing.

After awhile of watching Gareck, and deciding that the object that he had put into his pocket was his Digitech, Kerra went back to looking at the other objects. Rikui had by now, gone back to join his twin sister and the others, followed by Flamemon. The Digitech was still pulsing in his pocket, something that clearly annoyed him a little as well as made him confused. Her eyes soon spotted an object that looked like it had some yellow to it and walked over to it. It was fairly close to the spot where Rikui had found the Digitech that belonged to her. Critimon followed along, muttering things about how the others seemed stupid and couldn't figure simple things out themselves, especially the identity of certain Digitechs that belonged to them.

She stopped by the Digitech, and sat down on the ground before picking it up. Once it was in her hands, she looked at it. The Digitech had a yellow front as well as a light blue screen. Turning it over, she noticed that the back was an orange in color and like Rikui's, it to said "Digitech 5.0" on it. Turning back to the front, she pressed the right button and waited while the information to come up on the screen. Like what had happened to Rikui, her screen displayed some information about whom she was and what her life had been. Critimon looked over her shoulder, reading the information as Kerra read it. It also had some information on it that she didn't understand fully.

Digimon: Critimon

Location: Digital World

Class: Wisdom

Wisdom and the Digital World. Strange concepts to the confused and intelligent girl. "What's the Digital World?" Kerra asked as the data disappeared from the screen.

"The Digital World is where we are right now. We're in a certain part of it called The Field. The Digital World is the home of the Digimon, what I myself, and the others that have become the partners of your companions are," Critimon replied, a look of satisfaction on her face. She liked being the one that knew everything. Kerra nodded and as Critimon said this, the Digitech began to repeat "The Field" over and over again.

Kerra listened as the object repeated the message over and over again until finally, after a couple of minutes, it stopped. Once it had stopped, Kerra slipped it into her pocket, not wanting to drop the Digitech just like she didn't want it to get dirty. It was too shiny for that. Standing up, she started to make her way back to the group followed by Critimon. "Well, I've gotten my Digitech," she said to Rikui, smiling. Rikui nodded and smiled back at her. His Digitech had finally stopped vibrating in his pocket and had fallen silent.

After awhile of deciding that they weren't doing anything worthwhile, Gareck sighed and sat back down on the ground again to think. He needed to decide what his next move would be and whether or not he should stay with this group of mix-matched kids or go off on his own to shape his own destiny, without them. He knew that he could survive without them and get through this place that they had found themselves. The only thing was, he wasn't sure if the others could do the same. It looked like none of them had ever tried surviving on their own like Gareck had. What a pity he thought, shaking his head in annoyance as the thoughts kept on going through his mind.

Back among the group, Meg had watched as first the male twin, then the annoying and silent oldest boy among them, and then the Computer Freak found their Digitechs...Whatever they were. Things were definitely not happening as she would have liked.

For one thing, she would have preferred it if she had been the first to get a Digitech, not that stupid male twin that thought that he knew everything and seemed like he was the official leader of the group by saying that they had to "figure things out". Meg could have figured that out herself, and, in her opinion, he wasn't any sort of leader. For one thing, he didn't seem all that brave and he liked little kids too much. Or rather...he seemed to like little kids too much...

People like him were idiots that thought that they had to look after everybody since in their opinion; they were the only ones competent to deal with anything. Just like that older boy that was obviously the oldest among them. He too had an air about him that clearly stated that he thought of everyone else as inferior, or at least below him. So far, the other kids that she had found herself with were rather interesting characters she thought sarcastically, really thinking that they were all just plain annoying.

Ryena, deciding that she ought to find out if one of the Digitechs belonged to her, stood up and started to make her way towards them. She started to head towards one that had an orange color to it, or so it seemed to her. Jinamon followed along behind her, being the obedient Digimon that she was...for now. Jinamon could have abrubt changes in her mood, and did so fairly often. After awhile, Ryena reached the object and stooping down, she picked it up before straightening again. The Digitech had an orange front as well as a dark blue screen. It's back was also red in color. The exact opposite of her twins' Digitech. She carefully studied it for a moment, not even bothering to turn it around and look at the writing on the back. Instead, she just observed the front of it and its three buttons.

After several long minutes of making careful observations, she pressed the right arrow button much like the others had. Like the others, information, or data, appeared on the screen. Scanning it quickly, she brought her eyes to the part that mentioned Jinamon for the first time.

Digimon: Jinamon

Location: Digital World

Class: Light

Obviously, she was in the Digital World and Jinamon was a Light type Digimon. At least, that was what she thought after her brother had told her what he had found on the screen of his Digitech. Ryena turned around and grinned at her twin who grinned back at her. She flashed him a quick flash of the Digitech before slipping it into her pocket. The screen had cleared of all information and was blank once more. She slowly started to make her way back to her brother with Jinamon following her. She intended on telling him all about what she had found on the screen of the mysterious device known as a Digitech.

Noticing the others that had picked up some of the objects and put them into their pockets, Connor stood up and Neitomon watched as the boy walked over to one of the objects nearby, and picked it up. The item had a Gray front, and a brown screen. Upon closer examination, the back was black had had words engraved into it. Noting what the words said mentally, Connor shifted it over to the front again and decided to try his luck and press one of the buttons. He closed his eyes, and pushed a button randomly. When he opened them again, the following had come up on the screen:

Digimon: Neitomon

Location: Digital World

Class: Honor

He knew what Neitomon was and had an idea that they were in the Digital World, whatever that was. He just didn't know what the class part meant. Sighing, he placed the Digitech inside one of his pockets and walked back to Neitomon who had been watching him.

When he reached Neitomon, he smiled at the Digimon. "Well, Neitomon, it looks like I've found my Digitech," he said to his partner, still smiling.

"Great! Now we can be an invincible team!" Neitomon said, nodding his head as if to prove the point. Connor nodded and fell silent.

Silently, Meg cursed her luck. So far, some of the others had managed to find their...whatever they were, and she still didn't have hers. Annoyed, she stood up and started to make her way towards one of the objects still on the ground before an exited, Zack quickly moved ahead of her and picked up the object. She felt like telling him that the object was hers, but, then she saw a glint not too far away and started to move towards it. Apparently, another object was on the ground.

She picked it up, noticing the words on the back as well as the backs dark blue color, and then turned it around. The front was Ice blue in color and apparently, it had a clear screen with no apparent coloring to it. She stared at the object for a moment, thinking that something like this was something that Computer Freak would know what it was, and then she pressed a button. The sight of what came on the screen, and the noise, was not what she expected.

After he had picked up the Digitech that the other girl had been heading for, Zack stared at it, not knowing what to make of it. Obviously it was nothing that he had seen before as well as being something that most likely shouldn't of even have existed. The thing was green, with a light green back, and it also had a turquoise screen. After awhile of just staring at the thing, Zack decided to press the right triangle and after a few moments, a bunch of information appeared on the screen. One part drew his eyes immediately to it, after he had scanned down the screen for a bit, a screen that revealed a lot of information about himself that it shouldn't have known.

Digimon: Ligazumon

Location: Digital World

Class: Nature

He had no idea what the thing meant, and so, he put it in his pocket and shook his head. He sat quickly on the ground and started to think. Ligazumon came over to him and sat down on the ground besides him.

Almost immediately, a grid-like screen appeared on the screen of her Digitech with several dots. There were ten of them clustered close together, the center one which was blue, the color of Meg's Digitech, and they were all different colors. There was a dot of black not too far away, in a spot that looked as if it was on one of the cliffs. Frowning, Meg looked away from the Digitech and at the surroundings. She saw nothing and turned her gaze back to the Digitech. Upon her pressing the button, it had started to say 'Digidestined' over and over, in an annoying voice that was starting to get on her nerves. It was also beeping as it said this. She was shocked; she had no idea that the thing could talk.

Shaking her head, and clearing it of her momentary shock, Meg glared at the object in her hands. "SHUT-UP!" she yelled at it loudly, wanting it to just be quiet and leave her alone. The others, hearing her shout, looked over at Meg, a look of surprise on their faces. They had not expected her to yell like that. Tampa Bay Lover, who was the closest, glared at her; he was clearly annoyed with her sudden shout.

"Whatever it is that my partner is yelling at, shut your trap and leave her alone!" Minikimon called out, trotting over towards where Meg was. "That's your Digitech."

"I know!" she snapped at her Digimon partner. She wasn't stupid; she had seen the writing on the back of the Digitech. Surprisingly, when she shouted, the object actually stopped making the beeping sound and did just what she had told it to; it had shut up and was now displaying a blank screen.

Glaring angrily at the Digitech, she pressed a different button, and was greeted by a screen that said everything imaginable about her. At the bottom, there were the words:

Digimon: Minikimon

Location: Digital World

Class: Ice

Now the thing was displaying stuff that she didn't understand, and it annoyed her. She felt like yelling something at it again but before she could, the device's screen became blank once more. There was no more data on it. Glaring at it once more, she stuffed it into her pocket angrily and glared at the others that were staring at her. The two twins, Computer Freak, Tampa Bay Lover, and Frenchie were all staring at her. The two that looked like they were now friends were averting their eyes away from her, not wanting to look at her. The kid that thought he knew everything, and could do it better than anyone else, ignored her and continued to think. He was used to people getting angry all the time; he himself had become angry frequently during his life. Now, more than ever, he wanted to leave this group of kids that he had found himself with that obviously couldn't do anything.

After awhile, the twins stood up from where they were sitting, and directed their attention to Meg. "You shouldn't yell, you know," the male twin said, raising an eyebrow at her.

"I'll yell if I want to," Meg retorted, sending her death glare at the two of them. They were not on her favorites list of people. They just annoyed her.

After awhile, Naram and Jamie stood up and started to make their way towards two of the objects that were close together. When they reached them, they bent down and each picked one up, holding them in their hands as they stood up straight. Naram held a White on the front Digitech with a blue back. His screen was a light blue in color and it said "Digitech 5.0"

Jamie on the other hand, had picked up a pale yellow on the front Digitech with a red back and a clear screen. Like Naram's, it too said "Digitech 5.0." Obviously, the two things were somewhat alike. "What do you think?" Jamie asked, looking over at Naram.

"I don't know," Naram replied, shrugging. Dragomon was flying in the air not too far from them and was looking at the two objects in their hands. Konamon was on the ground next to Jamie.

"Press a triangle! Press a triangle!" Dragomon said excitedly, flying in a circle around them several times. Naram and Jamie, shrugged, and they pressed the right green triangle. On both of their screens, it showed information about them. It also said something about their Digimon. Naram's screen said:

Digimon: Dragomon

Location: Digital World

Class: Heart

Jamie's screen said:

Digimon: Konamon

Location: Digital World

Class: Purity

The two boys didn't know what that was supposed to mean and before they could figure it out, the screens had become blank again. They glanced at each other, shrugged, and then carefully placed the Digitechs back into their pockets.

Luke, who was by now the only one without a Digitech, slowly stood up from his position on the ground and started to walk towards the one remaining object on the ground. It was lying on its side in a bush, and looked a little beaten up, as had some of the other Digitechs. It was blue with a purple back, and it had a light blue screen. He could see the beginning of the word Digitech, and carefully, he reached his hand out to grasp the object. He slowly withdrew it from the bush, not wanting to scratch it up any more. As he pulled it out, he noticed data on the screen. He had pushed one of the buttons while withdrawing it from the bush. The data disappeared quickly, and he had been only able to see the following:

Digimon: Hanumon

Location: Digital World

Class: Wind

Seeing that, he wondered what the rest of the data on the screen had said and he slowly turned around to face the others, his Digitech still in his hand.
