Prolouge: Meet the Hero

Hello...Im the hero of this story, I suppose... I have a name, but Its too embarassing for me to say..You can call me CJ if you want, or maybe Gradius...Thats what SHE calls me. Im about five and a half feet tall, 15 years of age, with a sturdy build, blue eyes and long, wild, blond hair, weighing roughly 115 pounds. I'm a a lover AND a fighter, specializing in sword play. I like to wear deep blue jeans, with one leg cut off at the knee, a blue shirt with a plaid, green overshirt, which is unbuttoned and hangs like a vest, and a wooden amulet with a dragon burned in on one side and my zodiac sign on the other, hanging by a silver ring on a tough black cord. I have a hand made sword, which is also wooden, with symbols burned into the handle and a serpent, burned in also, going down the blade. Its about three feet long and a half foot wide. now that you know what I look like, we can get started...

Chapter 1: The beginning

It started one day...I was walking home, having just been dropped off by the school bus on my last day of school. I walked up the dusty path to my home, wondering what I would do...I planned on getting lots of rest, maybe spending a few hours a day online...And I did. The first thing I did when I walked in the door was crash on the couch, and fall into a nice, deep sleep....Some time near 8pm, I got up, and fiddled round on the computer for a while...Like..Til 6 in the morning. I went to a search engine, having a sudden urge. typed in..."R-e-n-a-m-o-n". I smiled softly as my screen was flooded with pictures of the familiar figure. I gazed at them, half-lost in thought, until I heard my parents stirring in the other room. I decided it was time to pack up and get some sleep...I rather enjoy sleep, you see. So I turned off the moniter, and somehow managed to make it to my bed...I went to sleep

I woke up only 2 hours later...After cursing myself for getting up so early, I turned over, burying myself back into my blanket...I sat like that for about half an hour before I realised that i wasnt going to get anymore sleep... It seemed very annoying at the time, and I thought breifly that it was going to be a bad day...But that was before I knew just what awaited me when I got up. I walked into the living room, stuck my sword in its scabberd, and, since I needed to get myself movng for the day ahead, I walked outside to go for a quick bike ride. I pulled my red bike out of the shed. it was a pretty old bike, but it was realiable. It was one of those kinds with different speeds. I set it to 6, hopped on, and started pumping. It was hard going, because I was riding up hill on grass, and the thing was set to 6, but once I got going, I was fine. I rode around a bit, half enjoying and half hating how my legs seemed to turn to iron. It was kind of a nice feeling, but it made me feel clumsy, heavy...

I was about to turn back, so I looked down to turn, when BOOM...I hit fog. But this wasnt normal fog..This stuff was thick... I turned myself around, and got out of it. Upon looking back, I found out that it seemed to be a wall...It just seemed to stop far to suddenly to be just a foggy patch in the yard, and it wasnt moving...It was just...Sitting there. This couldn't be natural...So being a human, I investigated. I got off my bike, letting it thud to the ground and walked up to the fog again...I stuck my hands in, then pulled it back out. Then I realised something very peculiar...My hand was dry. Fog was made of water last time I checked, so shouldnt it be at least a little moist? I was of the firm opionion that something was screwy around here...Throwing caution to the wind, I charged in, but quickly discovered that I couldnt see a blasted thing. I ran forward blindly, when I heard something. It was...Frankly one of the creepiest things Iv ever heard. A voice. A deep, evil voice....I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, and not being particularly bright, I ignored notions of running away, and kneeled down to listen...

"Well..You put up a good fight, but it looks like Iv won. Now the question is...Should I destroy you now?...Or maybe Ill bring you back to my lair for a little fun...If you beg, I might even let you live after that...Ill even let you choose. Grunt if you want the second option"

..No answer...I didnt blame whoever he was talking to...But just for the record, this guy was pissing me off...I stood up, and rolled up my sleaves to dispense some justice. I started to slowly walk forward...but it was hard, because for all I knew, I had allready walked past the guy.

"Maybe you need help deciding" I heard a blow land...The bastard...He was gonne get a serious ass kicking when I found him "Your no fun...Hmph..." I heard another blow land, then grass crinkling..Like someone, or something was being dragged... I was getting closer, I just knew it..."I hate your type...Your strong to the last minute, arent you?...Fine. if you want destruction, then Im more then happy...To indulge you"

I can only guess..That this creep had thrown his target..Because at that moment, something big and warm crashed into me. I tried my best to catch the large bundle that hit me, but it was too big...I fell over, grunting as I hit the ground. I scrambled to push it off me...I heard a small moan escape it...A female moan...She must have been wearing a fur coat, too, because..Well...I felt fur. I stood to face whoever was tormenting the poor women. I saw a shadow, but I couldnt discern what it was..it looked too big to be a human...I popped my knuckles and shouted at him...

"Hey, asshole...If you want to pick on someone, try me on for size..Im armed, I warn you" I put out my arm like I was aiming a gun...I wanted to stall as long as possible, because I didnt know if I could fight this guy. Maybe if I held out long enough, someone would notice and call the police or something...

"Oh? A little boy has come to your rescue...Put that arm down, boy, your not fooling anyone" Damn..This guy must of had sharp eyes...Of all the creeps in the world to fight, I had to get the one freak with 20-20 vision...

"So, youv got good eyes...Allright, well settle it like men..." *I crouched down slightly, brings my fists up...

My opponent seemed to spread his arms "Come, then...Ill kill you too"

I didnt like this guys atttitude, so I rushed him. I jumped, intent on giving his face a punch it would never forget...I felt my fist crash itno him...And yelled as my fingers were nearly broken on it. I felt two cold claws clamp down on me on either side. Then a nighmare came into view. The "man" had stuck his face close to mine, and for the first time I saw him..And regretted it. He was NOT human. He grinned as my eyes widened and my mouth tried to open...I wanted to scream. I wanted to let the whole world know that I was scared beyond reason of this thing that had me in its grip...But I couldnt even do that. I was frozen.

For starters, his skin was an unnatural light blue...He looked dead..but I could only wish. He wore a weird red mask, that stretched back into bat wings...but that wasnt the scary part...His lips were parted, pulled back in a cruel grin, revealing big, nasty teeth. Obviously a vampire. I wondered breifly if he was going to drain my blood, or just rip me apart...I decided quickly that neither of these options appealed to me, and started to struggle for everything I was worth. I kicked, and yelled, shoved my skull into his face, bit, and once even had the crazy idea of throwing my hair in his eyes. I succeeded in getting one arm free, and used my one hand to reach behind me and yank out my sword.

He was a vampire, and I had a sharp peice of wood...A good start. I threw all my hope into this one stab...I shoved it forward into his chest with everything I had. Through some miracle, it managed to penetrate. He looked down at the sword sticking out of him, and yelled...Loud. His breath stank, too, but that wasnt my main concern... he threw e aside, and started t reach up for the handle of my blade to yank the thing out...Yay for me, I had managed to piss him off. If he got that sword out of himself I was finished...SO I ran forward, and jumped, brings my foot up and bracing my leg..I kicked the hilt of my blade, sending the whole thing into him, down to the crosspeice. He caught me a rough bow to the head, as he looked down in horror..My sword had started shining...I couldnt explain this, and didnt care to try. He was still alive, and he was coming towards me. I tried to get away, but tripped, falling flat on my back. Before I could even get up, i felt his foot slam down on my chest, and I saw his shadow raise its arm to stirke...I closed my eyes for the last blow, which would more then likely tear me in half. When I heard a familiar voice ring out...

"d...DIAMOND STORM!" The lady shouted...

~Diamond what?~ Flashed through my head once, before I managed to shove aside my panic and think ~Diamond storm was Renamons signature attack~...I remembered from the events years ago...but..The digimon had all left...And a firewall was put up...Right?...But whatever the girl was doing, it caught my assailants attention. He looked up, his attack forgotten, and threw his arms up, as I saw severel small objects smash into him, and he fell over...But then his shadow just...Dissappeared...Then it all clicked. That thing was a digimon...The "women" was a Renamon, and somehow they had come through together...I got up, and picked up my sword...It had fallen over, not having anything to stick into. Suddenly, the fog started to clear. I looked around wildly for the fox who had saved my life...I found her. She was on her back, and i could see even from that distance that she was badly injured...I put my sword away, and rushed over to her...I guessed that she didnt have the strength to absorb the things data...I took off my overshirt, and wrapped it around her,mustering myself and somehow picking her up. Hopefully, I would have the energy to take her to my house...I started walking...

I managed it...I kicked open the door, stumbling in. No one was up yet, strangely...I took the Renamon into my room, and stuck her in my bed...I wearily climbed in too, carefully covering her up, then starting to get up to get myself one, too...But I was tired...I looked at her...She was unconcious. I was sure she wouldnt mind if I just durld up under the same one...So I layed back down, raised one side of it, and slid under. I relaxed, my eyes half open... I looked at her for a while...I plucked up my courage, raising a shaking hand. I rested it softly on the side of her head, rubbing softly. She shifted, making me dart my hand back, until I saw that she was smiling slightly. I put my hand back, smiling myself, and drifted off...Maybe this day was allright..Time would tell...
