"Shojou da sugoi..." said a boy's voice from above Hikari
"Soyo..." said a girl's voice, also above her, she blinked once then twice, and opened her eyes, the sun was beating down on her, she was lying on a haystack, with to Children leaning over, higher up on the haystack, looking down on her.
"Susuma! Joushi! Nani da temae..." shouted an old man from out of her view
'Where am I?' thought Kari
"Aro... ano... ano..." stuttered the children
'What are they saying?' thought Kari
"Dare da shojou ka" asked the elderly man, coming into view.
"Watashi-tachi ano... yare..." stuttered the children
"What are you saying?!" shouted Kari full of frustration, and all three looked at her, then got in front of her and bowed, while the girl curtsied. Kari was even more flustered than ever.
"Gomenasai goshujin miko... watashi-taichi desu baka" said the Old man, Kari, overwhelmed ran as fast as she could away from the two blonde children, and white haired man, and ran until she could not see the field where she had been.
But the field she came to was hideous in sight. Winged horses with masks were pulling plows, and if they strayed from a straight path they were beaten with whips cruelly. One began foaming at the mouth and collapsed, but the person who had been pushing the plow whipped the poor beast more and more, until finally a white light shone and a small egg appeared where the beast had been. Kari, being too frightened to think, ran for the forest. There she sat down behind bushes and trees and tried to make sense of it all. She definitely wasn't in Japan anymore because Japan didn't grow wheat and hay. But then where was she? China? How could that be possible, she was just sucked into her computer! Just after that thought she started hearing voices from farther in the forest, she approached slowly and quietly.
"My friends, fellow Digimon, we are born to a life full of hardship, labor, and misery..." said a lizard like creature on top of a rock, bellow him was a group of assembled creatures ranging from anteaters to zebra like in appearances. In front of the group, to the left of the rock stood three other creatures, a bird, turtle, and cat like creatures. After these words, the crowd roared with agreement.
"And what is the predominate problem? Hmm?" asked the lizard to the audience, but they remained silent, waiting for him to answer the question, but looking like they knew the answer already.
"Man! Man is our enemy!" shouted the speaker, and the audience again roared in response.
"He has invaded our home, the Digital World, which has rightfully belonged to us since the creation of it! Enslaved us, and used us to carry out his work as if we were dumb beasts! We are Digimon! We have always existed, and always shall as long as we are reborn through eggs, but even the babies are enslaved to labor and work, and when we digivolve, we perform more laborious and hard tasks. And when our usefulness is outlived, and we are reborn, we again live the vicious cycle..." said the speaker, the audience responded with a roar, when they quieted down the speaker continued.
"We must never come to resemble them in any way... even though in the past we have committed these actions, to rise above and oust man from power, we must rise above their level... No Digimon shall wear human clothing, clothing that is part of the digivolution process is acceptable... No Digimon shall kill another Digimon... No Digimon shall engage in trade... All Digimon are equal!" shouted the speaker, and a louder roar echoed from the crowd.
"And finally, friends, to begin our liberation, our song of justice!" said the Lizard
Chorus: Digimon of the World we shall unite! Rise up and ready for the fight! Soon or late the day will be, when man's defeated and we are free! Soon or late the day will be, when man's defeated and we are free! We suffer in such misery, our limbs be tired and worn...
1st Verse: Our Dreams shall not be broken, and our hearts shall not be torn! Our Dreams shall not be broken, and our hearts shall not be torn!
Chorus
2nd Verse: We'll sing a song of justice, and thrust freedom's sword! We'll sing a song of justice, and thrust freedom's sword!
Digimon of the world we shall unite! Rise up and ready for the fight! Soon or late the day will be when man's defeated and we are free! Soon or late the day will be, when man's defeated and we are free!
After the first verse, the audience joined in on the chorus, and soon they continuously sang the song, verse after verse, chorus, after chorus. Kari ran from her hiding spot in the opposite direction and out of the forest, and onto a rode, where a team of horse creatures bucked in front of her.
"OH GOD! WHERE HAVE I COME?!" shouted Kari, before she was knocked unconscious by the hooves of the creatures, and she fell into the muddy, dirt road.
