Digimon Access: A New Season
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon. Mr. Akiyoshi Hongo got there before me.
A/N: Hey! Yeah I know, I still didn't mention the name bioemerged Digimon. Lucky for you, I will in this chapter. Sorry it took so long! O0;; And yes there will beseason crossover references. Remember to R. and R.!
Responses to reviews-To All Reviewers- I'm going to try to please you guys, but I've planned out quite a bit of the story already, so I'm sorry if some of your proposals aren't met in the story. I know that some of the setting details and characters are a bit off, please bear with it.
Lord Destroyer- I haven't really given much though to pairings, but you might see slight hints of them sooner or later. I can't write romance to save my life, (might have something to do with me being a guy and all- yeah making excuses :D) but I'll see what I can do later on when the story has room to be more fluid. Keep in mind though, that I'm going for a more adventure storyline (continuing with the television tradition).
Insane Digigirl- You might like this chapter. :D
Dark Tamer / Zenon Kar /Cin/Tania/wiji/konstant - Thanks for the reviews. Glad you like the story thus far! The italicized abbreviated names are my classmates. It pays to have awesome friends:D
And now on with the show…
Episode 3: Invitation to Chaos
Henry: In the last episode, all of the tamers were finally reunited. We found out that with the right conditions Digi modifications could still occur in the real world. What we didn't expect was that Susie was able to conjure a huge digital cannon, which she naturally fired. Dad is going to have a cow over that. The mystery Digimon finally bioemerged, but it has not attacked. Not that I'm not complaining, but it's definitely a first. Di Di Di…

"Very impressive digidestined," the metal Digimon said. It looked like Kazu's Guardromon, only this one seemed to have been customized and upgraded. It was at least two times taller and had a huge hatch attached to the top.
Rika held her D-Power up to identify the Digimon. Her digivice displayed a hologram of the metal android.
"Guardromon: Metal Soldier Digimon. Its attacks include Pulse Laser and Power Crane," squeaked the electronic voice.
The Guardromon suddenly deactivated and slumped forward. The hatch on Guardromon sprung open. An old man with a white ponytail climbed slowly out. He wore a long white cloak, causing him to appear very numinous and sagely. Needless to say, the tamers were quite surprised.
"What do you want?" Takato asked suspiciously holding up his D-Power tactfully.
"No, I am not a Digimon, Takato," smiled the old man, his voice sounded normal, no longer robot-like.
"How do you know my name?" Takato asked apprehensively.
"Everyone in the Digital World knows you," the elderly man said kindheartedly.
"Haven't we met before?" Henry scratched his head, baffled.
Susie on the other hand was reenergized after being carried for a quite some time and had returned to her usual bubbly self. She was not confused at all. "GENNAI!" shrieked Susie. "I saw you on TV! Can I have your autograph pleaseeee?"
"Gennai? I remember now," said Rika thoughtfully. "He gave that chump Davis and the other Digidestined of Season 2 one of Azulongmon's digiorbs so that they could digivolve."
"Oh, yeah," Takato said absentmindedly. "Do you think that Davis is real person?"
"Unlikely," Rika said.
"But it's possible," Henry added.
Gennai anticipated a heated discussion to boil up and decided to step in before they got sidetracked further. "Digidestined, I'm afraid we have a bigger dilemma to deal with."
"What do you mean?" asked Takato.
"The D-Reaper is still a dominating presence in the Digital World," Gennai replied.
"What!" the tamers shouted together.
"Didn't the Digimon Sovereign destroy them yet?" Henry asked.
"They have tried to stall the D-Reaper's progress as long as possible, but have not had much success," replied Gennai. "In fact agents of the D- Reaper have transformed into greater stages of development. The Sovereign and the Guardians need your help."
"Guardians?" Takato asked.
"Because the Sovereign were tied down with the duty of putting an end to the D-Reaper, they appointed 3 Guardians to temporarily maintain the order in the Digital World. Their names are Seraphimon, Cherubimon, and Orphanimon. However, you probably will not meet them," he said sagaciously.
"What exactly would we be doing?" Henry asked. "The last time we tried to fight the D-Reaper, we couldn't even make a dent. It almost swallowed Rika too." He turned to look at her.
"I'll be ready for it this time," Rika said disdainfully.
"You'll be fighting them," Gennai corrected. "Unfortunately, the D-Reaper has resorted to imitating Digimon. It is no longer one conglomerate, and has spread to all four sectors of the Digital World."
"Well what are waiting for? Guilmon and the others could be in danger right now…!"
"That, my friends is something you don't have to worry about. They are all safe for the moment, and are anticipating your return-"
"Lets go then!" Takato interrupted, heading towards the Digital Field.
"Hold your horses" Gennai said. "The Digital World's link with the Real World is unstable. Going through a Digital field might land you in some strange world. You'll have to use an alternate route to get in."
"Then why were you able to pass through one?" Rika demanded.
"The Sovereign made an exception for me," Gennai smiled. "The Guardians forged this field for me with dynamic power that only I may safely use to travel."
"So how will we get in?" Susie asked.
Gennai reached into his white cloak. He pulled out a digiorb. The tamers were surprised; they never expected to ever see one of Azulongmon's orbs. The blue sphere suddenly split. Gleaming azure lights spread to seek out each tamer's D-Power and entered each of the digivices creating a soft cerulean glow. The digivices then proceeded to transform. They became a little narrower and sprouted navy antenna. A clip protruded on the back each D-Link, to allow for belt clipping. Another addition was that the D-Links had a small light bulb fixed into the upper left hand corner. All the factors combined, the digivices looked very spiffy.
"You now have D-Links," Gennai said pleasantly.
A/N: New Digivices for all! I'm following in the footsteps of all the other seasons.
"What was the whole point of that?" Rika asked nonplussed.
"Think of the D-Link as a souped up version of the D-Power. It will constantly update data on D-Reaper variations. Furthermore, it still has the capability to scan cards, but it now also has the added function to open digiports through computers."
"No way!" Takato grinned. "It's like a D-3 now. Cool!"
Gennai returned the smile. "I'm glad that your approve. I suggest that you all inform your parents that you will be returning to the Digital World frequently now. Now if you'll excuse me, I still have other appointments to complete."
The tamers noticed that Gennai was still holding a portion of the digiorb. He disappeared in a plume of smoke taking with him the digital field. The congested traffic of Shinjuku returned to normal, but the tamers still faced a dilemma.
"Wait, what do we do about the cards we used?" Henry shouted at the air in consternation. The tamers looked at the crystal wall, the huge red shield, and the enormous cannon that now laid on the floor. They were so glad that no one else was in the park. As if on cue, the D-Links activated.
"Data withdrawal activate," chirped the D-Links. The tamers watched as the items all dispersed into tiny bits of data and entered their digivices.
"Hey! I just realized I didn't get his autograph!" Susie pouted.

A girl with auburn hair sat at her desk with a sad look on her face. Next to her laid a small yellow hand puppet. She was in no mood to play with it now though. In fact after the incident, she didn't feel like doing anything. And it wasn't just one bad event, it was a chain of misfortune that shattered her innocent world. There was darkness ever present in almost everything she saw now.
Jeri slowly stacked the scattered cards on the table. Rika had told her to practice the techniques and card combinations to improve on her game. She wasn't in the mood for that either, but it helped to pass the time. Inattentively, she pulled a card named Leomon from her deck.A sharp pain rose, onedeep down in her heart. She hadto put her head on the table, and began to have melancholic flashbacks, her body shaking with pain. She was oblivious to the light flashing outside her bedroom. Her door opened slowly, a stout figure walked in.
"Jeri," a voice called.
"Leomon?" she responded in a daze, recovering from her painful memories.
"Regrettably, I am not Leomon. Jeri, you must snap out of your darkness. It will envelop you if you do not take control of your life."
"Who are you?" she asked, now fully alert.
"I am Gennai; that's probably all you need to know for now. I'm afraid I come with bad news. The Digital World is in grave danger. We are requesting your assistance."
"What do you want me for?" she responded bitterly. "I'm a horrible tamer. My partner is dea- not here because of me," she fought back the tears.
"It's not your fault. I also know that you will make a difference Jeri. It's destiny," he replied gently. "Oh and, before I forget, I have something for you." He reached into his robe pocket and pulled out a small tan pendant. He handed it to her.
Jeri took the pendant. Soothing warmth flowed from the necklace into her body. She thought she felt the darkness within her slightly retreat. She placed it tenderly on her desk. "Thank you, for this… item. Please excuse me, I need to sort things out in my mind…" she whispered.
"I shall leave as soon as I upgrade your digivice. Please consider returning to the Digital World." Gennai held up what was left of the digiorb. Part of it broke off into a vivid blue light and entered her D-Power. It glowed cerulean for a few seconds and became a D-Link. Jeri watched the transformation unresponsively.
"Just remember Jeri, within every life there is death, and within every death there is life," Gennai said patiently. With that, he exited.

> Somewherenearby, a casual CCGbattle was taking place. A blond haired teenager was playing against a brunette teenager. Both looked to be about 16.
"I'll play Hawkmon and Veemon on my digivolve row," announced the blond girl, placing the Digimon cards quickly onto the playmat.
"I then digivolve Hawkmon into Rinkmon!" she said, placing Rinkmon onto the field. "Next, I'm digivolving plain odd Veemon into Kyubimon and I combine the courage of the Tai card to give Kyubimon's attack 500 extra points!
Kyubimon: 1800 ATT. (from the Digidestined Tai card) / 1000 DEF.
Rinkmon: 600 ATT. / 1000 DEF.
She flicked her hair backwards in concentration. "I move both Kyubimon and Rinkmon to the Attack row," she continued.
"Digi-Modify! Knight Device," her Chinese-American opponent said good-naturedly, placing the card into his offline pile.
"What good will that do? You should have played some kind of defense increasing card. Oh well," she said with a smile.
"I attack your Rapidmon with Kyubimon and then I attack your Greymon with Rinkmon. Yay, that gives me 400 points for defeating Rapidmon and 100 points for defeating Greymon! I won! I finally beat ya, Rai!"
Rapidmon: 1300 ATT. / 1400 DEF.
Greymon: 1000 ATT. / 500 DEF.
"Not exactly," Rai responded. First of all, your Digimon are all non-Animal types, and thanks to the Knight's Device card I played, you can't attack.
"What? No way! Hey, wait, my Kyubimon is an animal type," her face became serious.
"It's a mystical animal type, which is different from the animal type, remember Ambriel?" the boy asked patiently.
"All right, I enter my discard phase then. I'll discard one card and draw," she said. Ambriel made a face, obviously disappointed with the card she drew. "Alright, it's your turn."
"Okay," Rai responded. "I end both my Bring Online phase, and my Move phase to skip to my Attack phase. I play the Digidestined Sora card to multiply Rapidmon's attack power by two. I then play another Sora card on my Greymon to increase its attack to 2000 points," Rai continued.
Rapidmon: 2600 ATT. (from the Digidestined Sora card) / 1400 DEF.
Greymon: 2000 ATT. (from the Digidestined Sora card) / 500 DEF.
"Whoa!" Ambriel uttered breathlessly.
"I attack your Kyubimon with Rapidmon, raising my total points to 7000 points. Then I attack Rinkmon with Greymon, which brings my total over 7500 points," Rai smiled.
"Aw, I'll never beat you!" Ambriel squealed excitedly. "It was still cool playing the CCG with an expert though."
"I'm not an expert," Rai grinned sheepishly. "Besides, you're improving a lot. You almost had me there for a second. Wait, why didn't you use Digi-Modify cards?"
"Umm…" She showed her hand to Rai. I don't think I've got the whole Digi-Modify concept down yet. Besides, the ones I have in my hand couldn't help much anyway.
"Here, take this card," he said, finding out a cardafter rummaging around in his CCG collection.
"Cool, Ice Arrow! Modest and generous, what's next, are you gonna buy me lunch, Mr. I placed second at the North American CCG championships?" she asked teasingly. Rai almost fell out of his seat in awkwardness while Ambriel total oblivious to the whole event, took out her D-Scanner and swiped the Ice Arrow through it. It beeped softly, recording the data.
A/N: The D-Scanner thing doesn't exist in the real world, but since Takato had one in the beginning of Season 3, I thoughtit would be interesting to allow the new characters to eachown one too. Also, the new CCG doesn't have a scanning option either, much to my dismay. The D-Scanner idea is pretty cool, and would have been nice if Bandai produced one for North American fans. Sigh.
Before Rai completely recovered, a head poked through the windows.
"Hey are you guys coming or what? The grub arrived, and the other kids are pigging out already!" the curator of the event said with a thick Japanese accent. Behind him, Ambriel and Rai saw food flying in all directions. Apparently the younger kids had started a food fight of some sort.
"Coming!" Ambriel called. She looked at Rai. "Aren't you hungry?"
"Mm hmm, I'll be there in a second," he replied. "I promised the curator that I'd be responsible for cleaning up after the kids today." Ambriel nodded and skipped off to partake in some ingestion as well.
Rai took out his D-Scanner and place it on the table. He scooped up his cards and folded the playmat carefully, smiling faintly. He couldn't believe that he almost didn't want to come to Japan when his mom got the job. It really was a good opportunity to meet people from different backgrounds, like his new Canadian friend, Ambriel. (He had not seen in public not wearing a bit of purple, and found it stranger that he noticed such details.) Of course, he would be able to sample Japanese culture later on when the school term started, a culture that was quite different from his American/Chinese lifestyle.
It was really considerateof his mother's company to host such acool program for the kids while their parents worked. The kids could basically do whatever they wanted.Rai surveyed the recreation room carefully for the first time. A large colorful banner hung over the doorway saying "Welcome to Hypnos Intercontinental." His mother had been hired to do computer administration. He assumed that Ambriel's guardian was also employed for a similar reason.
Rai swiftly remembered the reason why he didn't want to come. His grandmother was still in America, and he was afraid that she might not be able to manage on her own. Of course, she reassured him that she would be okay, so he and his mom took the next flight to Shinjuku. Thankfully, the transfer job was due to last only half a year or so, and he was still able to talk to his grandmother over the telephone.
He was just about done cleaning up when Ambriel poked her head back into the room.
"Are you done yet? The little kids were throwing all the sushi about, so I saved you a plate," she said. "Here, you eat, I'll finish up."
"No, it's okay. I was the one who volunteered myself."
"Don't be silly," she said. She walked over to him. Her hand brushed against his as she handed him the plate of Japanese chow. He felt himself getting a bit red in the face. Ambriel proceeded to toss junk into the wastebaskets.
"You know, I think we're the oldest kids in this program. I feel so… old," she said giggling.
"Mm hmm," he replied, his mouth full with some sort oforange paste.
"Maybe we're too old for card games too," she said.
Rai swallowed, "I don't think you're ever too old to play." He gave her a faint smile which trying toconceal whatever contents was stuck inside his mouth.
"That's true. There isn't much entertainment around here. It sure is a coincidence that both of us bought our Digimon cards to Japan," she said.
"Yeah, especially since we can't read Japanese, and so buying the cards here would be pretty pointless," he replied.
"Do you believe Digimon exist, like in the real world?" she asked.
"Of course I do. I remember watching the news not too long ago. There was a Japanese kid on T.V. fighting the D-Reaper as Gallantmon or something. They even printed the Digimon on a card," he replied.
"I would really like a Digimon partner of my own," Ambriel sighed. "It's so lonely at home when mom works overtime."
"Yeah me too."
As if on cue, two blue beams of light blasted through the windows and sought out their D-Scanners. After a cerulean glow, both of their scanning devices turned into D-Links.
"Did I just see that happen?" Ambriel asked animatedly spinning around to look at Rai.
"If it didn't then both of us must be going crazy," he said holding up his D-Link for her to see.
Abruptly, the light bulb in the upper left hand corner of the digivices lit up green and then the devices spoke. "Salutations, Digidestined. A threat has endangered the Digital World and you have been summoned to go to the Digital World. You will be united with your partner upon arrival. A computer will provide access to our world, and we are counting on you. Please take into account the offer."
"Amazing," Ambriel mouthed.
"No kidding," Rai responded. "So are we going then?" he asked smiling, noticing his companion smiling as well.
"Destiny awaits!"
TO BE CONTINUED!
A/N: So yeah… New Tamers! I actually researched names to fit their personalities. Sorry, this was ainformative episode, and it turns out that it's my longest chapter so far too! I had to get in the new characters though, before you guys lost interest. Well at least you got to see some CCG action! The new card game is pretty cool- but I don't have the money for cards! I will have more card- scanning action in the next episode. Also hope that the tamers/digidestined will make it to the Digiworld by next chapter too. (From what I remember, the inhabitants of the Digiworld will always call the kids Digidestined. It's the kids that gave themselves the title of being tamers.)
I'm a little disappointed with the Jeri scene. I can't write those sad emotional scenes. O0 Well, glad you read. Please review and send in ideas for future episodes. (i.e. original Digimon?)
