In a large facility, a young man wearing a pair of white-rimmed goggles around his neck, and a simple blue uniform that came with fingerless gloves was watching the digital sky go by while people and small creatures known as Digimon walked by him. As the boy was watching the clouds, a smaller blue dragon-like creature with blue skin, a white underbelly that reached his snout, yellow marks on his forehead and cheeks, and red eyes walked towards him.

"Shirou, are you alright?" he asked the boy.

A young man, Shirou, snapped out of his thoughts. He then turned towards the small dragon Digimon and gave him a smile.

"Yeah, I'm fine Veemon." Shirou reassured him, looking towards his partner, "I'm just… I can't believe we finally made it."

Veemon, Shirou's partner, nodded in agreement. "Yeah, it was a long time coming, but we finally got our first rank-up!"

The young tamer smirked, "Yeah, and next stop, Silver Rank, then Gold, and finally Platinum!" He then looked towards a pendant he kept hidden, one that displayed the Digital Hazard symbol, 'Sis, everyone. Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt this world. Not while I'm around!

"There you two are!" a female voice shouted.

A young woman around the same age with pink hair done up in a flaring ponytail and in the same uniform as the boy, Shirou, but lacked the gloves, was standing there tapping her shoues. She was accompanied by a small plant Digimon with long arms, a pink flower atop it's head, and green eyes.

The girl puffed her cheeks and crossed her arms, "We've been looking everywhere for you two! The orientation for new rookie Tamers is gonna be in a couple of hours and you'll be late!."

The boy smirked, "Ha? What's wrong, worried that I'll overtake you in the Tamer Rankings Mo~mo~ka~?" he teased the girl, Momoka.

"Oh yeah? Says the guy who's currently floundering in results!" Momoka groaned, "You know for being given a DigiEgg by one of the founding members of the Union, you're pretty lousy in missions. Seriously, even Murasaki is pulling in better results than you!"

Shirou sighed, "You don't have to remind me of that blowhard. All he does is talk about strength and nothing else. Veemon and I? We're the ultimate combination!" he cheered before looking to his partner, "Right, buddy?"

"Yeah! We're number one!" the little dragon Digimon cheered.

"Besides, what's he going to do? Yell at us?" Shirou noted with a smug grun.

"Oh really?"

Shirou and Veemon froze upon hearing that voice; oh they really did it now.

"He's right behind me, isn't he…" Shirou muttered.

Turning around, they saw a young man around the same age as them with long brown hair and red eyes, wearing a version of the uniform that was more torn up. He was joined by a larger bipedal Digimon with black scales and yellow eyes, alongside two wing-like ears and red lines around limbs, neck, back, and tail.

"Oh… hi Murasaki-sempai. Hi, BlackGuilmon-sempai…" Veemon cautiously greeted the pair.

Murasaki groaned as he shook his head at the pair, "I see you're still boasting about your friendship as always, Kuroki." He grumbled, "When are you going to learn to tone down that attitude of yours? Now come on, the three of us have a place to be." The eldest of the three Tamers noted before he and his partner walked towards where the gathering hall was, with Momoka and her partner Palmon following suit.

A bit nervous, Shirou and Veemon joined the two pairs as they reached an area where various Tamers and their partner Digimon were waiting. After getting their places, a group of figures walked forward.

The first was a scruff man with black and red hair with a long overcoat and a red version of the uniform the other male Tamers were wearing, which had white accents on them. Afterwhich a humanoid lion Digimon with a white man, red metal fingerless gloves, and what seemed to be a bancho outfit joined his side.

Next was a woman with short dark hair with aviation goggles on top of her head and a scarf around her neck and wore a yellow version of the female Tamers' uniforms, alongside her partner; a white-armored dragon Digimon with dark blue claws, golden eyes, two large horns on the ears and a horn on the snout, a metal jaw, and a red cloak with a hood that has goggles embedded in it.

Finally there was a young man with glasses and wore a labcoat over his navy blue uniform entering on his own, looking towards the group of Tamers with an cool, but excited grin.

The three humans then stepped forward and observed the group with intent. After a while, the woman and the scientist stepped back as the man in red spoke into the mic stand before him.

"Greetings everyone, it's nice to see that you have answered the call." The gruff man spoke, "I welcome you all to the Tamer Union. For years, humans and Digimon have lived in harmony within the Digital World. However, after years of conflicts due to various individuals who wished to threaten this peace, many of us felt like it was high time that we as Digimon Tamers must band together and defend our home against these dark forces." He then turned towards the members of his entourage, "Now, let me introduce to you the other two leaders of the Union that you will be working under for the rest of your time here."

The latter two then stepped forward as the woman smirked, "I'm Jenny Everywhere, head of the Dawn Brigade. We're the fighting force that keeps the different servers of the Digital World safe, so all fighting missions fall under my rule."

The scientist chuckled before crossing his arms, "And I'm George Karizaki, head of the Dusk Brigade. We help keep the Digital World a better place via expeditions and by good search and rescue. I'm also the guy that you rookies will be heading to if your Digivice has any intended glitches."

After stepping away, "Now, before we move onto the team selection process, does anyone have any questions?" Masao asked the Tamers.

One tamer lifted his hand, "When do we get to fight Kamen Riders?"

The boss sighed, "For now, Bronze Ranks are not advised to fight any Riders. They're for the Platinum Ranks to battle."

"Yep, and right now I haven't finished working on our anti-Rider weapon yet." George chimed in.

"Anything else?" the leader asked.

Another tamer lifted her hand, "Are we allowed multiple Digimon to control?"

Jenny shook her head, "Sorry kiddo, but you'll have to wait until Silver Rank before you can get your own Digimon party. It's mostly due to how the Digivices work, the higher the rank, the better you can connect to your partners."

"Now that all of that is settled, it's time for you to choose which of these two you will work under." Masao noted before he motioned for the Bronze Rank Tamers to step forward.

Soon, the various Tamers walked forward and began choosing either the Dawn or Dusk Brigade. When it was time for Shirou, Momoka, and Murasaki to join their sides, Momoka choose to go with the Dusk Brigade and put on a blue moon badge on her shoulders. Meanwhile Murasaki took the Dawn Brigade and placed the squad's yellow sun patch on his uniform.

Finally, it was Shirou's turn. As he stepped forward, he began to weigh the options in his head. That was when he looked towards the pendant once again. Shirou soon began to recall some words his sister once told him.

"You're never alone."

As the boy thought that, he soon looked towards the two Brigade leaders.

"What do you think Veemon? Think we should go with the Dawn or Dusk Brigades?" the tamer asked his partner.

Veemon looked towards Shirou with a small shrug, "Well, it would be cool to join either one. I mean, if we go with the Dawn Brigade, then we'll be able to fight the Riders sooner."

Shirou nodded, "Yeah, and if we go with the Dusk Brigade, we're less likely to be fighting and just watching. Ugh, I don't think we should just be relegated to simple scout work." He then turned towards Veemon with a smile, "So, Dawn Brigade?"

The dragon Digimon nodded," Dawn Brigade."

With that in mind, Shirou and Veemon stepped forward and accepted the Dawn Brigade patch. However, before the tamer could put it on…

*BOOM!*

Suddenly the building shook as people ran in fear, Shirou quickly ran out, as did several Tamers and Digimon as they saw various monsters of different varieties attacking various Tamer-Digimon teams. Jenny quickly grit her teeth.

"Alright, rookies. Looks like you just got your first assignment!" she called out to the Bronze Rank Tamers now under her jurisdiction, including Murasaki.

"Heh, finally! I've been waiting for this!" BlackGuilmon cheered before he rushed into battle alongside Murasaki.

George turned to the Dusk Brigade Tamers he now had command over and quickly gave out orders, "Round up as many trainees and staffers as you can, we gotta make sure these monsters don't get anywhere near the people!" he called out.

He then took out a black oblong device with a long antenna and golden colored grips. He then pressed a button.

"Come on, Justimon!" he called out.

Suddenly, a large humanoid Digimon with a blue bodysuit, white armor parts, a silver helmet, and a large metallic arm.

"Justimon, let's kick some ass!" the scientist declared as he perform a pose before he and his partner jumped into battle.

As the monsters fought against the Digimon, Shirou noticed a ribbon fly through the sky. Curious, he quickly chased after it.

"Hey, Shirou! Wait!" Veemon called out.

As the two ran, Momoka and Palmon quickly spotted their chase.

"What are those idiots doing?" Momoka groaned.

"I don't know, but I think it might have something to do with that!" Palmon pointed out as she saw the ribbon they were chasing.

"Think it's something related to the monster attack?" BlackGuilmon asked Murasaki.

"If the gogglehead is chasing after it, then very likely." Murasaki noted, "Come on, we gotta follow them!"

"As long as we keep fighting these freaks, I'm game!" BlackGuilmon agreed before chasing after the duo.

"Murasaki?! You too?!" Momoka gasped, "Ah mou! Why do you two have to get into this much trouble!" she groaned aloud before she and her partner were forced to give chase.

As the three Tamers and their partners chased the ribbon, they were unaware that they were about to take part in an adventure that would span across dimensions. At the same time, four individuals, one a young boy with jet black hair that had silver streaks that neared the crown as he paced around a typical classroom, another a young man with long black hair and chocolate eyes as he boarded a plane, a young man with spiked black hair done in a ponytail wearing a blue and orange set of armor was helping the people of an ancient Chinese village, and finally a shoulder-length black hair bearing white streaks watching a group of students in a European fantasy academy train, went about their lives unaware that their paths were going to cross...
