He got closer to inspect the egg when suddenly it began to glow for a few instants.
It came from there a small little creature. It had blue skin all over except on his belly. His eyes were small with bright red irises. Its small ears were angulated pointing to the back. It was a very small creature that Carlos held in his arms.
- Who are you? – asked Carlos looking at the digivice screen.
-------------------------
DEMIVEEMON
[-----]
In training mode
------------------------
- Don't you recognize me? – asked the creature faintly.
Carlos felt discouraged and turned his face away from the creature.
- You're not him……- he said sighing.
- But……You said I had been the coolest thing that had happened in your life and that you were not mad at me…..- said the creature in a pitiful way. Then he said: - We're one………
Carlos was surprised when he heard this and he turned around fixing his sight on the creature's eyes.
- It is you!!!! – he shouted with joy. Just then, the creature grew in size becoming a familiar shape to Carlos.
--------------------------
VEEMON
[--------------]
Rookie mode
-------------------------
Gatomon was jumping in joy, and she wanted to snatch Veemon from Carlos' arms. Carlos embraced him tightly and looked all around.
- But. How is this possible? – asked Carlos too himself faintly.
- I can explain……- replied a man who was behind the three surprised visitors.
Everybody looked back and gasped when they saw someone known to them.
- Henry Wong? – said the three almost at the same time.
Curiously, Henry Wong was not wearing common clothing. He was wearing a long brown robe that had a belt around the waist with a clip that had strange symbols inscribed on them.
- You!!! – said Carlos with a smile on his face. – But how??
- Well, you see. I met Shibumi when he was not dominated by greed and ambition. He was a good man with brilliant and idealistic ideas. I remember that one day he asked me as he was joking, where I would like my programs to show up. I replied: As they were alive. And then he replied. "What? As babies?…..Do you mean like a newborn ward?" between laughs. Then he took a napkin and drew the design of this place. …..- explained Mr Wong showing the surrounding landscape. – But then, greed took hold of him. The failure in the project made him team up with Alphamon who unfortunately felt disposed of and so each other poisoned their mind.
- What happened with Alphamon, Cloakmon and all the others? – asked Clara.
- Unfortunately, they had integrated part of their data bases to the program that was going to transform everything. They did this to absorb everything and be the only ones to receive the data. When the program disintegrated they disintegrated with it. The only thing that remained was the program that transformed organic material into data and it was scattered.
- What's gonna happen with that? – asked Carlos leaving Veemon on the floor.
- It's a dangerous algorithm. I decided to recover the fragments and seal them into big boulders. It was the only thing I could do.
- What happened with the Valley of Oblivion. – asked Clara.
- It's a bad memory. I told several digimon to go and destroy that place. With Daisy's help we modeled a new shape for the site. Now it's called Spiral Mountain.
- And Daisy?…. – asked Carlos feeling slightly ashamed for asking so much.
- She's helping me in creating patrol programs who will help me keep watch over this world. They'll be monitor programs. I feel very responsible for what happened so I decided to stay close and keep track of everything. – said Henry sighing.
- What's gonna happen to us? – asked Carlos.
- For the time being, I captured the anomaly that allowed them to connect our world to theirs and I scattered it around different servers around the world. Fortunately and unfortunately I couldn't suppress it.
- What does that mean?
- That for now you have access to this world with the help of your digivices. But I have decided to change the program routines. It's not good for digimon to trust any human, especially adults.
- What do you mean by that? – asked Carlos very concerned.
- Don't worry. This transition will take time. I'm sure that there will be a time when digimon will meet children who live on a world ready for them.
- But. Can they still evolve? – asked Clara.
- Of course. But I decided to adjust the processes. For this reason they will keep the A mode for self protection. As for the B mode I'm going to hide it within small algorithms to be used only in dangerous situations. The monitor programs will decide when can these be used. One of this program is gonna be called Quinlongmon.
- Do you think there will come a day when digimon and humans can become one?
- There is still a long way to go for that. But when it becomes necessary I think there will be a special digivice for the purpose.
In that moment, from afar, many people were coming toward them. They were Aurora, Héctor, Iori, Pablo, Laika, Yuki, TJ and Robert. All were accompanied by their digimon, who upon seeing Veemon leapt toward him with joy.
- I haven't congratulate him! – said Gatomon embracing him tightly French kissing him. Veemon decided to loosen up and embraced her back tenderly.
All the humans greeted among each other. Carlos and Clara blushed as they saw their digimon and taken by the hand they joined the celebration.
In the middle of the noisy celebration Carlos turned his head looking at Henry Wong with reverence.
- I didn't ask you before……. How do you call this place?
- It's called……..The city of the beginning. – replied Henry with his hands behind his back.
- Ha. That's a good name Mr Wong. – said Carlos between laughs.
- You know what?……..- said Henry with a pause. – Call me…….Gennai…..
So, this was the story of the first who visited this world that molded afterwards into the one everybody is familiar with, where human feelings and evolution are the same thing.
That's why, if you believe and have enough imagination, you'll make them digievolve!
And you'll remember that this was an epic history that became a legend, a digimon legend!
THE END
